This Is Not A Fun Post.



I've been seeing and feeling heartache.  A lot, lately.  From bloggers suffering from tragedies, to the suffering of Haiti's people.  We are connected--either through a personal relationship, or through the bonds of respect, kindness, and empathy for our fellow man--making the pain, very real.

Indeed the start of 2010, for many of us, has been bleak.

I know, too, that with tragedy and pain, a chance to renew our love, our sense of service, and our faith in man and one's Religion, emerges.

If you need help--ask for it. 

I understand asking for help can be difficult, nearly as difficult as needing it is, because I, too, am reluctant to lean on others.  As if doing so, implies weakness of mind and spirit.  But, i am learning, that it is simply not the case.  Friends are there for a reason, to support, to guide, to help you find your way, and sometimes to remind you of your blessings. 

Friends can be entirely virtual, or in the flesh, or someone you seemingly don't know well--or haven't known for long.  A community of love and understanding and aid, exists.  

I sincerely believe, most people want the best--for all people. 


Please, don't give up.  Somebody loves you.


sincerely,

Melinda
