One of a series of quotes for writers and others that you might find helpful in thinking ahead to the New Year: "When people show you who they are, believe them." -- Maya Angelou
For a long time I tended to judge people either by who they said they were or who I thought they had the potential to be. That led to a lot of disappointments.
What are the people in your life showing you about being supportive of the things that matter to you?
If it's not good, let them know. If you let them know and nothing changes, it's time to look for other people to bring into your life. Of course it doesn't hurt, either, to check what we are showing them.
