My Journal #2

No thanks, I don't need any help...

Prompt: What types of things do you avoid asking for help with?

I sat here thinking about this question. There isn't much in my life I wouldn't ask help with. I'm a pretty open person and since my husband travel a lot I have to do things on my own. I do my own laundry, clean house and other chores. I used to lifet heavy objects on my own and never asked for help. I was strong, had muscles from years of helping my husband in his construction business. Now I have a desk job and leave the heavy lifting to others.

My cousin was here from Thailand and had a 51 pound suitcase. I tried to help him get it up the stairs to his room, but even I struggled with it. When did I lose my muscles?

I can't think of anything I would AVOID asking help with. With the exception of one thing. I anticipate, if I live to a ripe old age and become incompacitated, I probably will be reluctant to ask for help with my personal care and mobility. I can see myself just sitting all day at a computer writing......... No thanks, I don't need any help.
