What ever they wanted to do, just let them do it, to do otherwise would be to rob them of the blessing they would get.<BR/><BR/>In my darkest days, I found it helpful to send out cards to those I knew who were suffering from some affliction. It helped me to help others however small gesture might be. <BR/><BR/>Hope and pray today will be a good day for you Robbin, Blessings!

I am rel...well, better late than never, here I am!! I am relieved to see a new post, I was getting a bit worried about you! I too am a taurus and so hear what you are saying about "doing it yourself!" But sometimes it seems life wants to hand us a lesson about reliance on others and, though it is hard, it is also a blessing to find "others" will be there to help. Perhaps that is why those lessons are there in the first place, who knows...not me! I just know it's hard!<BR/><BR/>Sending blessings to you and to those in harm's way as well...and another one is on the way?! Please take care and watch some movies...netflix perhaps?L'Adelaidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10725322054223364858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28858227.post-12780443242210879902008-09-01T13:12:00.000-07:002008-09-01T13:12:00.000-07:00Dearest Robbin,Sometime we learn valuable life les...Dearest Robbin,<BR/>Sometime we learn valuable life lessons through illness. To receive is a gift that blesses you and the giver. Receiving and asking for help is HUGE for independent people, but the rewards are great. It's the gift of needing to receive that will stay with you long after your recovery. One that you will pay forward without hesitation.<BR/><BR/>(It took me a few years to catch on to this concept, I'm not the brightest crayon in the box. lol)<BR/><BR/>Happy Healing!<BR/>Love<BR/>TTammy Brierlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14673290512175050093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28858227.post-47468339205664908042008-09-01T10:54:00.000-07:002008-09-01T10:54:00.000-07:00Hey Amy, not feeling so strong at the moment and n...Hey Amy, not feeling so strong at the moment and not knowing my body or even myself at the moment.

That is why I know that you will be strong enough to do what seems a contradiction - let other people help you. Don't you know if I was there I wouldn't let you get out of your chair? I can only be your long-distance cheerleader, reminding you that you're over half-way finished! And soon it will be on to bigger and better things, we just have to let your body do its thing for a little while! Love ya.

I feel good and so strong as I sit here, but when I get up and try anything, forget it! And I've got to remember it will pass but for now, I got to have some help. You do plenty for me, those prayers and just listening to me, that's a big help.<BR/>Hope your day is a good one.<BR/>Love you bunches!Robbinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04663210786298674312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28858227.post-55000446490371552232008-09-01T07:11:00.000-07:002008-09-01T07:11:00.000-07:00Dearest Robbin,You are a very wise woman to know t...Dearest Robbin,<BR/><BR/>You are a very wise woman to know that you need to ask for help. It doesn't make you weak.....it makes you stronger because you realize you need help.<BR/><BR/>Is there anything I can do from this distance? Thank goodness you have your mom so close. She wants to help you, so let her! And from this end, I will continue to pray for you. Please be careful. <BR/><BR/>Blessings, MargeMargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15398347951744910818noreply@blogger.com
