It seems this has been coming up a lot. I completely agree that bonding together and encouraging is very needed.
My rocks and foundation are my family and friends. I choose to lean on them and choose to be vulnerable to help fortify those relationships. It's amazing how relationships function on a different dynamic when people are willing to lean and trust in others. I try to encourage others, build them up, motivate, etc., but it all wouldn't be possible without my "rock and foundation" pouring into my life. My actions are simply the overflow of all the love I have received.

Nice point. I worry about losing touch with the people in my life that I can actually touch. Whether it's a handshake with a business associate or a hug from the Mrs. and/or kids. It's great to have these online 'relationships' but they are limited to a degree. We can impact those who are closest and we need to do it regularly. Thanks for the reminder. Time to log off and play with the kids!

My rock is most definitely my husband. What I love best is that no matter how crazy my life gets (and it gets pretty crazy), home is my soft spot to land, and he is the one who makes it that way.
For a foundation I couldn't ask for better than my family. They made me who I am today, and it's with their love and support that I continue my journey forward.
Thanks for the reminder that the foundation upon which you sit and the rocks that are your support are worthy of our acknowledgment as often as possible.

Kudos to you, Danny! We all need to appreciate the rocks in our lives. It always lifts my spirits when a man is strong enough to lean on his wife and isn't afraid to let people know that! Knowing that her roots come from her own mother makes you even stronger.
So many marriages (my own former one included) involve so much more throwing of rocks than leaning on them - I am so happy to hear that yours is not one of them!!
My daughters are my rocks. We had plenty of struggles though the years, but I look at them now (27 & 17) and I am truly amazed at the women they have become! I can't imagine my life without them!

Hi Teresa, I think it's great about your daughters and I feel the same about my mom :)
I just thought I'd point out that my husband and I do throw rocks as well - but we try to aim them at the neighbours instead of ourselves lol

See- it's that solidarity that makes it all work so well, isn't it?? Nice to meet you, Jac! I stalk your husband on Twitter, but mostly just to keep him in line! lol
