Caring works. Caretaking doesn't. We can learn to walk the line between the two.

Today I will practice healthy giving, understanding that caretaking and compulsive giving don't work. I choose what I want to give, to whom, when, and how much. It takes time to learn how to give in healthy ways. It takes time to learn to receive. Balance will come.

Today I will honor, cherish, and love myself. When I get confused about what to do, I just have to remember that I need to be true to myself. I will break free of the hold that others-and their expectations-ha ve on me.

Caring works. Caretaking doesn't. We can learn to walk the line between the two.

If we are waiting for guaranteed courses of action, we may spend much of our life waiting.

Even if the most important person in your world rejects you, you are still real, and you are still okay.

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.
