I was with my best, and we were about to check out. It caught both of our eyes. The Invitation became our mantra, a gift we could give each other whenever heartache or pain seemed overbearing. <br /><br />It can surprise me the number of times I let myself slip out of a situation, to nurture someone else. The willingness to set aside a personal attachment for the sake of another's want has been my burden, often not recognizing how lost I have become until the situation has gone beyond recovery. <br /><br />To want yourself is an earnest ache. And anytime I read the Invitation, I am reminded to take care of myself, too. <br /><br />So thank you. I look forward to reading your weekly blog. Maquelnoreply@blogger.com
