Today, Jamie is asking us
What do you wish to give?
Which is an amazingly hard question for me to answer! I am a giver at heart and often give too much of myself away. My delight is to know that I have made someone feel better or happier in some way for my having come into their life at any given time. I know that I fail miserably at that on some days. We all have those days and I try not to get down on myself for it, but it truly is my deepest joy to see someone smile or express relief or some other indication that I have been able to give them something (generally intangible) that they needed.
I believe right now, however, as I am giving away energy, love, and everything else to keep others moving and happy, I need to give myself permission to sit down and take care of myself once in a while. I cannot keep giving without refilling the well.

This is sssooo true - you have to take give to yourself before you can give to others....
As Sulwyn wishes for herself, so I wish for her as well.
As you wish Sulwyn so I wish also! A very wise wish!
Really good answer Sulwyn, we all have a tendency to give to others and forget about ourselves.
good for you...may this season of giving fill your well to the brim.

What a great wish for yourself - giving too much really does deplete the well! Be sure to fill yours up!

The gift of self-nurture. As Sulwyn wishes for herself, may it be so. Blessed be.
