stabilizers

That's what the small wheels at the side of a tricycle are called... stabilizers.. because they keep the rider from falling...... keep the tricycle stable and steady!

Everyone in life needs stabilizers..... when you are up, your real friends get to know who you are.... riding your little tricycle in peace.... but when you are going down...its you who gets to know who your real friends...your stabilizers...are.

It could be a voice of reason 1000 miles away that occasionally tells you to come off it and grow up... it could be the friend who swore to send you inspirational messages every day...in my case i have both..... today i woke up to:

 'There

is suffering in life, and there are defeats. No one can avoid them. But
it's better to lose some of the battles in the struggles for your
dreams than to be defeated without ever knowing what you're fighting
for. -Paulo Coelho'

I'm not yet sure how this is going to stabilize me today but i know it will...

Question on my mind now is am I any body's stabilizer? is there someone who thinks that of me? or am i so self centred that i don't catch my friends before they fall.... i surely hope not...

I am grateful that i haven't had to go through life alone.... that i have been shielded from extreme pain and suffering and that i have pretty much had it easy..... Khalil Gibran said "your joy is your sorrow unmasked......and that which brings you the most joy has the capacity to bring you the most sorrow"  but that means only those capable of knowing great sorrow are capable of knowing great joy...... 

i realised i have rambled off the stabilizers tangent...but its my blog right? he he

today, i am getting out of bed to be a stabilizer.....every one i meet can expect to a tonne of love and affection
