"My Supports"

My supports include the love of my children and my faith in God.  Yes, I do need to make "to do lists" and of course, I need financial support to live in this world, but the daily love and support of my children and my faith in God is what keeps me believing that I can do anything.  My children are my strength; they give me the courage to endure I lot of things I probably wouldn't even bother with if it wasn't for them.  My faith in God allows me to stay positive and believe that all things are possible.  It would be difficult to exist without these two supports because I need both God and my children as a part of my daily existence.
The challenge I imagined is being physically challenged with something like blindnees.  I would want to have the support of family and friends to help me to adjust to my challenge and learn how to live with it.  I would need for my family and friends to  arrange my home in a way that I would be able to get around on my own without someone to constantly help me.  I would need for them to help me with the things I couldn't always handle such as reading things that I couldn't or describing something for me so that I could develop a clear picture in my mind.  I would still need the support of my children, and I will probably need it even more and in a different capacity  because now I would be more dependent on them.  My faith in God will always be constant for me regardless of what challenges I may face.
