Especially those people who care about you, and are worried about you. They probably feel helpless, and letting them handle an errand for you or something would probably be a good thing.<br /><br />StaceyJust mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924805774892240310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9048720839013087348.post-15299487748308074812009-10-02T10:15:58.591-07:002009-10-02T10:15:58.591-07:00I think if you agree to their offers but saying ho...I think if you agree to their offers but saying how much you would really appreciate it and how much their help will take a load off, that would set the stage. <br /><br />Don't think of it as if your friends helping you somehow makes you look needy or weak or failing or incapable. It's absolutely none of those and I would guess those images wouldn't even cross their minds. I don't know if these feelings are your or not, but letting your friends help out in a time of need is a beautiful thing, for everyone. Accept it as a gift and I bet all parties involved will feel warm and fuzzy inside. Truly. <3<br /><br />If I lived closer I'd bring over a bunch of my yummy zucchini bread!<br /><br />Good luck.CowTownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15756130935907522719noreply@blogger.com
