Helpers Come

I used to believe that I had to do everything all by myself, making life more stressful than it truly is. I could not accept aid or comfort. 

Along the way, I changed. I came to realize that I just couldn't go it alone any more, and I started accepting help. I changed a lifelong pattern.

Last week our precious dog Teddy had surgery for a torn ACL, and when I saw his condition after surgery, I was heartbroken and anxious. In the night, as I held him close to comfort him, he lifted his paw for me to rub his tummy--the first sign that the Teddy I love was still there. I started to breathe.

Early the next morning, texts of encouragement started to ping my phone, the first one from a friend who didn't even know what I was going through.

When we decide to change, the field of our existence shifts. Helpers come.
