Sharing with Friends

Ever have a day or a week where emotionally you just feel like you are in a slump and your motivation and energy are at a significantly low level? I was having one of those days today and when I was talking to a friend this morning I decided to open up and share where I was at. Well, my friend listened and then shared some encouraging words with me. And I was surprised at how much her words helped boost me up! She shared how she knew exactly how I felt. And that it would pass. And that if it didn’t pass she wanted to know. And that she wanted to do whatever I thought she could do to help. I KNEW all of those things were true before she said them but the act of SHARING with her and then receiving her kind words really improved my ‘blue’ state. I know we all go through those days, so I thought I’d share with you all because sometimes we just need a reminder that someone is there for us. And sometimes it’s just the ‘sharing’ that we are missing. Things turned around when I made the decision to open up and share. So be brave and share where you are at with someone today. You might be surprised with the blessing that comes from sharing.
