My Supports

     I depend on many supports to get me through the day.  My biggest support emotionally is my husband.  He helps me get through the day and is a good sounding board to bounce ideas off.  He is someone I can always depend on.  My kids also give me support.  They make me laugh, think, and keep me going!  During work, I depend on the other teachers for advice, ideas, and support.  Starting the morning I depend on my alarm clock and coffee to get me up and going in the morning.  I would not wake up on time if it were not for my alarm clock.  I depend on my car to get me to places I need to go.  I depend on lists to help me stay organized and not forget things.  I also depend on my phone.  I use my phone to check the weather, e-mails, find contact information for my family and friends.  I keep my calendar on my phone.  I would be so lost without my calendar.  I can make appointments and make sure I do not have any conflicting appointments.  I can set reminders so I remember where I need to be and what I might need to bring.  I can set the timer to keep me on schedule.  I use my phone to get directions.  I use these many supports through the day.  My phone, alarm, lists, and car all make my life easier.  I am very thankful for them and the support they give me.  If I did not have them things would be challenging but life would go on.  I can’t imagine life without my husband, kids, and other family and friends.  They give me the greatest joy and peace in life.  A piece of me would die if I did not have these wonderful people in my life for support.
