I've been thinking about how we can get support from those around us. First, let's look at who does support us. The first names that come to mind are our loved one, our spouse, family members or parents. Next, we may think of friends, neighbors, church and association members. Also on our list might be our co-workers and colleagues.
Each of us have a form of support that that I would like to call our Transactional Support Team. These are individuals who are in our lives due to some type of transaction. They can include our hairstylist, bank teller, checkout clerk, or postal/package delivery person. Sometimes all we need is an acknowledgment of our existence, a chat about the weather or a friendly hello.
