The person who can enjoy your company without needing your advice has given you a place to rest.

GRATITUDE

WHAT THIS MEANS

Being useful is a good way to be loved and a tiring way to be known. If most of your relationships run on what you can solve, you end up performing competence even when you are exhausted, because that is what the friendship seems to be for. The rarer kind asks nothing of your expertise. You can be dull, uncertain or quiet, and the visit still works.

Notice which people you leave feeling lighter and which leave you feeling used up in a way you cannot complain about. Spend more of this month with the first group. And try to offer somebody else the same ease.
