Thanks for sharing that Dianne. What stood out to me is that so often, we see others' needs from the perspective of how those needs affect us ("I should give" -- there's guilt, obligation, pressure even...which can, sadly, lead to resentment for some). How much better to actually try to see how their need affects *them* and to respond with compassion, love, empathy.
