The Kindness of Being Gracious (or Making It Easier to Ask for Favors)

"I think sometimes it is more important to be gracious than to win."
~ Dorothy Kilgallen

I don't like asking people for favors.  But I find myself time and time again needing to ask one of my dearest mom friends for after-school assistance.  This last time I began with, "I am embarrassed to ask, but..."  She immediately responded that why would I be embarrassed when she has asked me to do some such thing that is nothing compared to my constant asks.  But I do appreciate her graciousness.
