"Mary had a little lamb... that followed her everywhere...” Remember that rhyme?
People (like me) love animals for many reasons. They don't tell you what you don't want to be told, keep your secrets till death parts us, don't judge, don't criticize, think the world of you and best of all excel at just being there. Simply put they embrace you just the way you are (and in fact for all that you are) and love to just hang out with you, like Mary’s lamb!
Pretty flattering, huh? :-)
I never thought that 'just being there' can make a difference. But it does. Most of the time people don't need our advice, our suggestions, our ideas, our opinions, our intuition into their problem or our experienced guidance. All they really need is for us to convey ‘I’m there for you' with a call, a card, a gift, a visit, a hug or jus hanging around!
To just be there can make a world of difference, if only we are willing.
Dear Mister God, this is @ina talking . . . Ya, I’m still talking. Think I'll stop and just hang-out with you instead.
