Over the Shock and GALing 6

[Kettricken]

Well, there's another way to look at it. Not saying this is "the correct way", but another way.

Some people are just really bad receivers, and it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with feeling entitled, ungrateful, etc. With some people, it's almost the reverse. On some level, they're uncomfortable with putting *you* out -- even though they do desire the end result of you (perhaps) inconveniencing yourself for them. They don't feel worth it, deep down they don't feel like anyone should be sacrificing *for them*, but rather the reverse. The bigger the favor, the more that kicks in. So, little things, no big deal, thank yous are easy .... bigger stuff, the little tiny guilt voice in the background starts whispering, and so it's maybe harder to verbally acknowledge that you *did* go out of your way to meet their needs. If that makes sense.

Something to think about.

It must have killed you to postpone *this close*, but you really did the right -- the loving -- thing.
