It is difficult for us to seek support, from others as well as from ourselves.  Assessing what is truly a need from what we desire calls for deep mindfulness.  We are bombarded by signals that tell us we need to be self-sufficient, that we need to buck-up and take personal responsibility.  Yet how do we responsibly fulfill ask for support?  What is the template by which we determine needs versus wants?  How do we check our egos in this endeavor?  The answers are not easily discerned, and yet the process remains at the core of our prayers.  We are thankful for support, and pray that it may be plentiful.  Blessed Be, and Amen.
