Factors within my daily environment that are supportive to me include my faith, family and friends, colleagues and the protected space I retreat to whenever necessary.  The support and comfort I receive from my strong faith, allows me to persevere in the moments when my stamina to continue seems weak. I simply cannot imagine how difficult it would be to accomplish my day-to-day responsibilities, or have the opportunity to pursue my dreams, if these supports did not exist.
