July 30, 2007PowerPhrase of the Week
Is there anything else I can do for you now?
It’s been a tough week. I broke my ankle five weeks ago, and as a result of my uneven gait and lack of exercise, my back went out last week. I was like a bug that gets trapped on its back and can’t roll over. I was very dependent on my husband’s help. It was music to my ears that, after an incredible amount of service, he would come in and ask,
* Is there anything else I can do for you now?
When you (I)wonder if you’re asking too much, an invitation to ask for more is a gift beyond measure.

I believe that work put into my relationship with my wife repays many times over. When she is stressed, my “What can I do?”, “Can I help?” or “What do you need me to do?” can ease a situation immediately, even if my help is not needed.

You’re wife is lucky! (As am I.)
Magical words indeed. Sometimes all we need is someone asking that question.
