For years I never attended the virtual support groups for my illness, feeling like I just didn’t have time for it, or I would try it here and there and feel like I wasn’t “getting anything out of it.” … It wasn’t until I realized that sometimes the best reason to show up to something like a support group is so we can GIVE of ourselves, not about what we will receive!
Now, of course though the laws of the universe which truly do bless those who give of themselves, I am receiving more than I ever could have from my weekly mitochondrial disease support group sponsored by mitoaction, and these people have become truly such a blessing in my life!
So this is your reminder to show up, give your time, knowledge, expertise, caring, or just a listening ear to others, you will be surprised how much you get in return.
