Those Hips Don't Lie.

The past few weeks have been ... Interesting. Two weeks ago I fell...off the arm of a couch...and cracked my hip...welcome to my life. So I've been crutching around for a week and will be for about 7 more. But nonetheless I have had an incredible support behind me(sometimes literally.) My teammates have learned that I am a very stubborn person when it comes to my health. And at times they force me to sit down and rest (which is very important of course.)

The one thing that I have reflected from these past few weeks is support. Support can come in many different ways. To some it's a smile and to others it's a kidney, these are two are on very different ends of the spectrum of course. My point is that to a single person, the definition of support is unique to them. This concept is highly complicated. Or at least to me it is. I have seen friendships fail because of the lack (or more likely differences between their definitions) of support. I, myself, have had failed friendships because of the constant change of our definitions. Because if you think about it, your definition of support varies from each person in your life. The support I want from my mother is very different compare to my best friend. The support I want from each of my teammates are very different from my team leader. But its not just because of the person, it also depends on what the current situation is. The support that I need right now, is very different from the support I might've needed a few weeks ago. There are so many variables to support, I find it very mind boggling when I try to think about it. So one thing I have learned from this is to take all of  it in consideration. Maybe someone believes all I need from them is a smile, or maybe to be carried down the stairs. It doesn't matter to me now, because all I see is the support they are(or trying) to give me. And to me that is a priceless feeling.

At this moment I am still in DC, but coming this Saturday I will be on my way down to Vicksburg, MS! This is where the southern region AmeriCorps campus is with brand new FEMACorps teams ready to be trained in our program that we have been developing this whole round! I'm very excited for a new landscape and a new day to day change. I have loved my time in DC and I will forever remember the simple(complicated) days of round 2.

Thank you all for waiting and reading!!! I will probably have another post up as we are traveling to Vicksburg! Please share, contact me, or just smile! Any of them are perfect choices!! Love and miss you all! Until next posting, have a wonderful life and spread cheer for all to hear!!!

A snow day!!
