My supports

There are many factors in my life that have provided me support in my life.
The first factor is my faith in God which provides me with the emotional support I need in life whenever I feel discouraged.

Another factor in my life is my family. I have been blessed to have a loving husband, two sons, and recently adopted son who is my nephew that lost his father two weeks ago. They all have provided me emotional support and physical support because we keep each other encouraged and my family helps around the house by cleaning and cooking. 

The challenge that I imagine to have at the moment is not being able to be a support to my friends and family because I am not emotionally available. I currently work a lot and I can imagine how that can effect my family because they need me to be there for them physically and emotionally. My family needs to have a home cooked meal every now and then and have someone available to talk to especially since we all just recently lost a close family member tragically due to a seizure. It would be a challenge to me if my family did not have the time to be emotionally and physically available to me after I lost my mother. I would want and need someone to encourage me and to keep me motivated to live. I would be so depressed that the last thing I would want to do is to clean and to cook.

My connections to play

My childhood may be over, but that doesn’t mean playtime is. Ron Olson

We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing. George Bernard Shaw





(Black) My Buddy






My parents exposed me to play by providing many opportunities for play in my childhood. I as a young girl had many dolls and would pretend to have tea parties and have a hair boutique in my y bedroom. I remember that when I was in daycare their was a home living center where you could pretend to clean the house and cook dinner. Today many of the centers are like this in daycare. When I was kindergarten however we had more opportunities to play but kindergarten today is more curriculum based. I believe that play taught me how to communicate with people more throughout my adulthood and gave me more confidence to approach people because I would play more with my classmates.

Relationship Reflection

I feel that relationships are important because it takes you outside of your comfort zone and allows you to care for other people beside yourself. There is many positive aspects of my relationships with my family including sharing special moments together and realizing you have more in common than you know. Also their is the fact that you would do anything for the people you care about and fight to the death to make sure your family is happy. Relationships allow people to look out for one another and to find love between yourself and your family.There can be challenges sometimes when you disagree because the goal of a true relationship is make sure each party is happy. When there are arguments it is hard because you don't want to see those relationships in that light. There are characteristics such as the give and take response when you have to sometimes allow your partner get what she/he wants so that an argument doesn't take place that involves partnerships. The relationships with my family and friends allows me to communicate better with people in the workplace because I understand that people have feelings and they only want to be happy. Sometimes my spouse and I fight but we end up working things out at the end because we love each other. In the workplace I treat people like I would treat my family and how I would want to be treated.
