A loved one
called today
to ask for favors.
Favors.
Multiple favors.
Six to be exact.
And they weren’t easy favors
to grant.
Each one will take
at least a couple hours
to tackle.
She thought she was being efficient
by saving up the favors
and asking for them
all at once.
Nope.
She was greatly diminishing
the odds ANY of them
will be fulfilled.
I would have put aside time
to do one of the favors.
I don’t have 12 plus hours
to do things for her.
And when I heard her list,
I felt…
taken advantage of,
used,
like an unpaid unappreciated
employee.
It wasn’t a nice feeling.
Ask for one favor
at a time.
