My wife Kim is such an amazing woman. Just one of the things I really appreciate is her kindness and generosity. Ever since I've known Kim, she has bent over backwards to help others anyway she can. At the same time, it frustrates me how other people will occasionally take advantage of her generosity, asking for more and more of her help over extended periods of time, despite having alternative options available to them. It's as if they know she will never say no to their persistent requests. Rather than just say sorry I can't help, she will drop what she calls "polite hints" that suggest that maybe there might be another, even better, source of assistance. Nevertheless, she is always willing to continue serving others should they not pick up on her hints. Can you believe it? Even when she is overwhelmed with to-dos and honestly doesn't have anymore time to spare, she will find a way to do so...
..."Oh...heh babe, what's for dinner?" "I'm not sure Preston, I haven't had one second today to think about it." DOH! Guess I need to stop 'Complaining' and 'Criticizing' others and check my own attitude and behaviors toward Kim. "What can I do to help sweet-pea?"
