The Kindness of Cutting Slack

"I feel we all have a stake in our community as much as we do in our own spirits, and seeking avenues of generosity is the direct path to peace among us."
~ Shari Arison

Recently, I was collaborating with two other moms on a school-related project.  Based on travel and work commitments, I had not contributed much to our joint project.  We were texting about what remained to be done and I volunteered to pick up some of the supplies we needed.  Instead, one of the moms gave me a far easier assignment.  I try to do my part on team projects, but sometimes we all need to be cut a little slack, and I truly appreciated the thoughtfulness and generosity of giving me an easier assignment.
