You Can't Get if You Don't Ask
This powerful quote comes from my friend Amy. People simply think
that others should simply read their minds. The last time I
checked the mind reading APP was still under construction;) The
other erroneously held belief is that you should just "suck it
up" and "it" will go away. Again, this couldn't be further from
the truth. When you want something, ask for it. If you want
someone to help you, ask for help. If you need help, ask, ask,
ask until the right person steps up and helps.
Here is my sweet special son Scott in his Nights in White Flannel
pjs that I asked for: pockets and extra tight buttons-Just Right!
As you may be aware from my last couple of blogs, my Dad is in
the hospital. It turns out that he has angina. He thought that by
first not mentioning it to my mother, she wouldn't be concerned
and it would just go away. Second error came when he also never
mentioned chest pains to his doctor...until now. With the right
interventions, this is a manageable condition.
Knowing and being able to do something for another human being
is a beautiful gift. Don't rob another of the connection they
seek. By being open, honest and heartfelt, you make the world a
better place.
After all, we are all connected in OVL.
Still, you can't get if you don't ask!
Try this one on for size and let me know how it worked for you,
