ARE YOU A SUPPORTIVE PERSON?

Being supportive comes in many packages. Sometimes emotional! Sometimes a good meal for a work night. Sometimes some babysitting for tired working parents. A listening ear with no advice- just listening. Giving support unconditionally takes lots of restraint. Sometimes seeing a solution before the other person gets it means hanging back. Being there in the moment. Being available. The supportive person can feel drained too. Seeing someone you love so stressed is never easy. But knowing that the support offered helps the situation incredibly! Like the stone thrown in the water. One never knows what the ripples will accomplish or where they will lead. Support to family, team at work, friends, acquaintances and even the clerk at the store make the world a better place. Not a pushover but a supportive person! So are you a supportive person? What does it mean to you to be supportive? What are some of the things you do for others? What have others done for you?
