I have the right to ask for information.
I have the right to make mistakes.
I have the right to do less than I am humanly capable of.
I have the right to feel good about myself.
I have the right to act only in ways that promote my dignity and self-respect as long as others are not violated in the process.

A good reminder. I have found that being a sponsor very rewarding. Since my health has been bad, I have only been a temporary sponsor because I don't feel that I can give them the time they need. Most of my days are not regular hours, and I feel it isn't fair to the sponsee, if I can't be there for them. My breakfasts are often at noon.
