Righting Your World

Everyone needs someone that can right their world.  When you feel you have been turned upside down and backwards, that person that can make everything normal again--or at least manageable--is a blessing.

If we're lucky, the first "righters" are our parents. Through bad grades, lost friendships and broken hearts, our moms and dads help us to believe that it will all be okay.

Then we have our friends. These are the people that will either ask you if you are okay and then never say another word about it (This appears to me to be the man version of support.); or the people that will offer to inflict bodily harm, help devise evil plans, or provide chocolate and caffeine as needed (Definitely the female version of support.)

And then you have your lovers. These are the ones that can say, "It's gonna be okay." and you have full confidence in their words. Or just a strong hug and a kiss from them makes you take a deep breath and helps you to think clearly again. And, for those who are super lucky, you will have that someone where, upon hearing his or her voice, life becomes better.

Thank you to all those that right my world!

"You make me feel right when all is wrong. You make my heart grow just like the Grinch's. You aren't perfect, but you're perfect to me."
