Joan,
I do find that to be very true. I do think that sometimes people do not always intend to go overboard and they just get caught in a space that is emotional. Everyone does this from time to time and we learn as we grow how to be better people from this as well.
Thanks for this blog.

Hugs,
Donna

As always Joan you have have hit upon a subject that is very apropos today. We all need to be cognizant of the other persons needs as well as our own. My good friend told me this morning...and she gave me permission to quote her..."I am not feeling well today and if I rain on your parade I want you to hang up on me and all will be forgiven!" I had to laugh because of course I was not going to hang up on her but she had allowed me the space to back away if her negativity was too much for me to handle. I have found when we are not able to be the "cheerful" one it is a good thing to let others know that you are not on solid ground and give them the choice to back away if need be. All to often we do depend on friends to be there when in fact their burdens are to heavy for us to shoulder at that time and to hard for them to put down also. Love and consideration is important and we need to leave a bridge so others can cross over when they can return to us.

What we need to learn about reciprocity is that one cannot and should not expect from others what one is unwilling or unable to give of oneself...relationships must be reciprocal in nature to be sucessful.
