A Wake-up Call
Lark

What if I assume everyone cares? What if I treat people as if they care? Dynamic and doable. I found myself relaxing. This new perspective takes the monkey off my back. I do not have to try to figure out anything. I act as if it is already done. I can be kind and respond to everyone around me as if they are caregivers. The truth is that most people are in one form or the other. What if I offer to help them as if they need the help rather than waiting to see if they need the help?
In my own life that came to me this week but in a different way. I learned that I can let go of my preconceived notions about how things must be and trust that the people in my life and in Robert's life mean well. Trust that they want the best for him and for me and that I don't have to be afraid or judge them. I can decide that they are doing the best they can and, through communication with them, I can trust they hear me and care. Assume they care!! How magnificent!
Thank you, Denise, for the lesson you brought to me tonight. Simple and doable. Yes!
