We all need a dose of encouragement!

Sometimes things can be going along merrily and without a hitch and then all of a sudden a heap of unexpected circumstances, come flying in, out of the blue.
I know that life is not a continuous bed of roses and the sun dims from time time behind that cloud.
Encouragement from those around us can make a gloomy day seem bearable again.
Just a hug and smile knowing there are people loving and thinking of you in hard times, makes a heap of difference!

@dianadee Here in the Bay Area (of Northern California), many people are very much into themselves. I do find good support among friends here, though, especially among musician types. Folks aren't very open to strangers, or relative strangers, though.

My favorite quote is that the things we least expected blindside us on some idle Tuesday. Things we never expected.

@dianadee just goes to show that the really life changing things are things that never crossed our worried minds,

The reality is that it can't be overstated, because it can be so rare for many people even to get basic encouragement...so many people feel alone, and sometimes humanly speaking they are:(

That is a tragic state of affairs..we all deserve love, care and encouragement.
