For some reason I thought I'd catch you on here at this hour (on hour in which I should be sleeping.  But I'm on my way.  Just dropped by for a read and, as always, there's one line that stands out.  We can only give to others when we are complete.  I have been a firm believer of this for many years.  PS - Isn't it about time we negotiate a house-swap (Cyprus to Western Canada - also on an ocean? )

I couldn't have said it better.
 Fantastic wisdom.

You are right mariaki! We DO have to take care of our own needs first-if we
deplete our energy-we will not be able to help/support-those around us! Chris.

Right on! I have also found that the Lord takes care of those who give first and put themselves second quite handsomely as well. Love to you, peace and blessings in your sunny paradise!  sam
