  • my answer to the poll: neither. (0 / 0)

    I give happily and I receive without any guilt or compunction.

    The actual asking is the only thing that I find hard sometimes, but I'm getting over that now that we're surrounded by friends and family. When we lived in Sacramento, we got used to doing for ourselves and not depending on anyone to help.

    Moving down here was one of the best things we have done.

    • Good for you (0 / 0)

      So common to have a hard time asking -- that's the crux of it most of the time....I think.  It's a shame I think that we're all a bit wired that way.  Giving and receiving are such natural acts of the life cycle....but oh well....sigh.

    • I got in a hurry (0 / 0)

      posting this and should have thought more about lots of choices around giving and receiving.....the poll is a bit narrow.  But I had to fly out of here, and couldn't give it much more thought.
