Allow me...Or not.

Are you the type of person who is always ready to jump in and help, even when it's not solicited?

I am.

And that annoys "Joe".

Yesterday, he was trying to do something and it took everything in me to not do it for him. But I knew better.

So I kept my nose in the book I was reading and patiently waited...and waited...and waited.

Finally, I heard, "How do you...?"

I didn't get up and go over to do it for him, I simply told him how, and he did it himself.

For me...that was huge.

Yet by doing that, things flowed so much more smoothly than they typically do.

I don't know if I've been alone for so long that I just don't know how to let someone else do "anything", but I one thing I know for sure is that most men (especially Joe) don't want women doing things for them. Instead, they need to "be the man" and figure it out. That's exactly what Joe did yesterday. He figured it out, as I knew he would.

I'm learning. We're growing. And that's a good thing.

Let the DIALOGUE begin: Are you one to jump in and help without anyone asking, or do you patiently wait for help to be requested?

Talk to me!

Til next time...
