CARING COMMUNITIES:
DOUBLING JOYS, DIVIDING SORROWS
One morning a few months ago I woke up early with a heavy heart and began to answer email. One of those I emailed immediately phoned me and I told her how overwhelmed I was and the dilemma I faced that day. She had just the right words for me out of her own experience with suffering, and I took courage. Months before I had been in our chat room with her one night, where a group of us comforted her after a trauma. Now it was my turn to receive from her.
I'm learning not to get stuck in grief, but to keep growing, and to keep open to share the joys of others along the way. Are you going through a tough time? Let others know and it will lighten your load. Are you blessed and feeling strong? Give to those who are suffering and it will prepare you. You'll find this happening all over the Internet, and on MT Daily. Don't miss out!
We need information sometimes, but we need each other all the time! Here's one list of links that has some great resources: http://www.rockies.net/~spirit/grief/griefA1.html
Three free Smartypes to the first, 20th, and 40th MT who uses WP51 for paid work. Send email to mary@mtdaily.com with your mailing address. (Put "Smartype" as subject.) Happy MT Week!
Three free wrist rests from CareerStep to the 10th, 20th, and 30th MT who writes me with mailing address. (Put "Wrist Rest" as subject.)
Three free mouse pads from CareerStep to the 5th, 15th, and 25th MT who writes me with mailing address. (Put "Mouse Pad" as subject.)
Three free MT Daily hospital scrub tops to the 8th, 18th, and 28th MT who writes me with mailing address and size. (Put "Scrub" as subject.) Happy MT Week!
