"Accepting favors is an odd form of mercy." I love this Jane. I think about it a lot. And it's such a cazy phenomenon (in my own head) where I feel the light of the sky in my heart when I am able to help someone out. The happiness just bubbles inside of me and pours out my ears! But when I am on the receiving end of goodness, sometimes it just makes me feel like I have less, am less, do less. Not always. It really is an instantaneous guage of my internal compass of each particular relationship. Do I want it to get so deep in contmplation? No. I want to just devour the kindness with gratitude then just sit in my big ol' chair with a toothpick, digesting kindness and smile. I'm trying! Love you Jane!
