n 1: the expression of approval and support [ant: discouragement]
2: the act of giving hope or support to someone [syn: boost]
3: the feeling of being encouraged
Sometimes I feel a lack of encouragement and support from a particular avenue of my life. Some might say I interpret it incorrectly. Others might say I ask too much. I say, the minimum I ask for is if you don't want to encourage me or support me, don't bring me down. Not a lot to ask I feel. Should I censor myself around particular individuals? I don't believe I should.
So I am doing an AIDS Ride. I'm sure you all have heard. I'm proud that I will be riding 585 miles. Support me. If you don't want to give money to a "gay organization," donate that money to someone who needs a little encouragement throughout a 7 day adventure. I've started my training... the journey begins.
