Gee. The last day of July. This summer is getting away from me. I'm going to a baseball game tonight with my husband and our friends. Got to grab that summer glow while we can. I've been thinking of my hike at the lake, a very strenuous hike, which I believed I wouldn't attempt until the last minute. Without the help of my son, daughter's boyfriend and friend, three strong men, it wouldn't have been possible. I know my limits pretty well. I was able to do it solely because I could accept the help I needed. A change. A getting older change. I prefer to be stalwart and stoic, but that is no longer an option some of the time. Appreciating other people's generousity is a necessity to me now.
More needing, asking for and getting help is in my future, and I'm adjusting, slowly. There are role reversals coming. It's a part of life. I'm lucky to be alive, and I know that.
