<p class="has-text-color has-very-dark-gray-color">Welcome to the Food For Thought Cafe. Sit down, grab a cup of tea, hot chocolate or coffee and let&#8217;s chat.</p>



<p>This week in the <strong>Food for Thought cafe</strong>, we are talking about listening to others that you may deem strong. Do you ever take for granted that a person will always be okay no matter what they go through, if so why? Or are you the person everyone knows will make it through anything. ;</p>



<p>It&#8217;s funny how during hard times you think you can&#8217;t make it through, everything seems devastating and some situations seem like you can&#8217;t escape. It almost feels like you are being punished for a crime you never committed.</p>



<p>Defense mode keeps us safe. Sometimes we block out so much that we don&#8217;t realize that what we&#8217;re blocking has already gotten in. Hurt, anger, love, jealously, lust, etc. can ease through the tiniest crack of a well constructed wall.</p>



<p>

I hate it when people tell me they don&#8217;t worry about me. They say they always know that I will be okay, no matter what. Granted I appreciate that people know my strengths, but despite my outer shell, I&#8217;m very soft on the inside. As much as I worry about others, it would be nice to know someone had the same concern for me. ;</p>



<p>Just because a person can hold their own, doesn&#8217;t mean they don&#8217;t need a shoulder. Look to the friend you always turn to during your troubles and ask if she/he needs anything. You may be surprised.

</p>



<p>It is easy to harbor sadness for the sake of others, but for healthy healing we need to address our issues.</p>
