This is great advice, Patricia. As I read this, I am envisioning times when I too have offered too much. One friend in particular, I felt if I wasn't calling to check in, that I was letting her down. In the end, I came to understand she was a private person and just wanted to be left alone. It went against my grain, but I accepted that fact and let go. I understood in the end it was very depressing for her to have to recount her health issues when I called, and unfortunately we weren't close enough for me to really be an inside person for her. Thanks for sharing this wisdom. 💜
You are most welcome! Sometime hopes and prayers really are enough! Maybe a little message to say we are sending those up with no expectation of a response. Just the love going out. 💞🪽💞
