Why do I think this? Because you ARE this, and you cannot help but attract this. You may be uncomfortable asking for help, but you are oh-so-generous when it comes to helping others.<br /><br />Check back with me next spring and we'll see if I'm right ;-)Lori Lavender Luzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15394441222262940632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544913458028415917.post-10088527111659784332016-03-25T13:04:59.823-04:002016-03-25T13:04:59.823-04:00Nodding along with all of this because we are in t...Nodding along with all of this because we are in the thick of it too. Childcare is challenging to juggle. Especially when you're flying solo. (And I wonder what the other half of the parent partnership of this man would have to say following his comment.) We're still trying to figure it all out and know that it's only likely to get better as they get older. <br /><br />In addition, I struggle a lot of asking for and accepting help. I'm fiercely independent and am self critical about shouldering others with my burdens. The thing is, I'm also one who connects with others through providing help and support. It's a big part of my love language. So I struggle with this hypocrisy.<br /><br />Thinking of you during this week. May your village of support grow and bloom.Cristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04317873211902543387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544913458028415917.post-84981007309786976332016-03-24T22:26:16.005-04:002016-03-24T22:26:16.005-04:00Cookies.
