I have a friend who keeps score of every kindness received and must immediately plan the "payback." She is lovely and generous but that habit makes me crazy.

Yes, learning to accept and receive kindness and care doesn't come easy for everyone. We're all taught to give freely but not to receive freely.

i have only found you recently...and have returned daily to walk beside you. listen with rapt attention to your heart. breathe your words which are always paintings straight to the heart.

right now i am launching myself into a busy day..and truly would choose to wait to write, for the gift of more time...to string the right words together and offer you a beaded, thoughtful response.

but i must put aside such "perfect longing" for the importance of being here for you right now. in this moment of discovering your need.

sending you love. knowing you are worthy. sharing my homemade soul soup from afar...

I hope you get better very very soon and that in the meantime you get all the OJ and soup you need!

I also have a difficult time asking for help. An older well respected woman once said to me… "The greatest gift you can give is to allow others to give to you. Everyone needs to be able to give to others in order to feel good about themselves." When I have a difficult time accepting help I try to think of it as a gift exchange and I accept the help as graciously as I would an elaborately wrapped present. I hope you feel well soon.

I hope you feel better soon, Nikki.
Just think how blessed you are to have friends that care

The flu can be so debilitating.
