receivingIs it asking too much of you?  Once again, go to your heart, but do not give until it hurts.  There are those who will give and give and give, and those who will take and take, not always from malice or greed, but because gifts are so special.  For many it is quite easy and pleasurable to receive.  As always, seek balance.  If you are a giver, give the gift of balance to yourself.  Notice how you might receive in return.  Be willing to say no, if saying so will take you from that place of balance, and be willing and able to say yes, thank you, when others wish to fill your cup.  Give and take is a healthy way to live in a world of duality.
