As we grow older

or our life or health changes

we have to learn to

honor our limits.

This advice can be more challenging than it seems.

Here are two questions

to help:

Is there a limit to what

I can do?

Or

in the spirit of

“been there,done that”

ask yourself

“Is it time to pass some of my long time

assignments and responsibilities

to others?”

We fear our

vulnerability

especially as our birthdays bring us closer to aging.

The need to ask for help may seem like surrender,

but surrendering

 can expand the intimacy

that empowers the giver and the receiver.
