For many of us, it's easier to come to the aid of others than it is to ask for help. It's in our nature to be more comfortable in nurturing and caring for those in need. But there are times, although rare, that even we need a shoulder to lean on. Trusting others may seem difficult because it leaves us open to hurt and pain. But by asking for help, we may be teaching those who aren't nurturers by heart to learn to extend themselves to others. It is part of our journey to be part of the universal circle which is compassionate to all. Today, think about where you are in the circle. Are you more of a giver, taker, or both? By completing the circle, you begin to understand the important role you play in so many people's lives.
Sometimes in asking, you get what you want...
(Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there. I think it's great that there are days that remind us to appreciate those we love. Although we should be doing this on a daily basis, it's good to have a special day for everyone. It's like having a birthday twice a year. I saw this rainbow cake in a cooking magazine last night and showed it to my daughter. This is her first attempt at baking a multi-layer cake. Doesn't it look good. She and I will be having a picnic this evening on the beach. What a relaxing way to close out this special day.)
