A partner that believes is truly a partner...

I read an article this evening about relationships, the economy and the like. It resonated with me on a number of issues but this was a nugget:

"The Fed may be lowering interest rates, but what we need now is to develop higher rates of appreciation for each other. During times of panic, it’s all too easy to get down on yourself. That’s why you have each other. When you’re in a relationship it’s not you against the world, it’s us against the world, and sometimes just knowing that your partner believes in you is all it takes to change the world. And isn’t that we need now more than ever?"

I am lucky enough to have people in my life, including my children, that believe in me. When I start to falter (and I do get overwhelmed by life) I have these loving people to ground me and center me. I am blessed.
