Yes Dearest Irene. You can’t give up. But that doesn’t mean you can’t take a rest. As we continue through life we have the need to go to ground occasionally – even regularly – to recharge and take care of ourselves. You need to consider this permission to do that. Sometimes when folks come to you with their problems your role is to delegate. Refer them to somebody else who can do the caretaking this time. Sometimes you have to tell them you have to take care of yourself right now. That doesn’t mean that you’ve closed your generous heart to them. It means you are opening your heart to yourself. That is not only appropriate it is essential. You were given your heart to spread love and first you must spread that love over yourself. We were given this life to cherish and to experience joy. You can’t do that if you’re in a state of fight or flight too much of the time. So Sweet Irene I implore you to be gentle with yourself and let others learn to take care of themselves at least some of the time. They need to develop those skills after all. And we need to keep you in the world. I need to have you in my world. Because it’s a better world with you here and healthy. I send you love and blessings and you can count on the certainty that you are in my prayers. And I do good prayer.
