As I sit here reading, someone I care about, who cares about me, is outside doing some difficult physical work. It's all I can do to let him do it. I want to run out and bellow a string of reasons that he shouldn't help me. I let my web help me after my husband died, but the web moved to other trees and I found myself alone. And I'm having to learn to let my new web help now. Thank you.
As someone working on releasing my attachment to being “the helper,” I really appreciate this post. The bit about transmit vs receive more is especially resonant.

I love this, Sue. That's so interesting about trees -- I had no idea!
