HELP!!

HELP! My dad once told me, "don't be too proud to ask for help!" How do you balance that with other messages, albeit old and perhaps not completely true, of being bossy and I should do it myself!! 

Lately, with another impending surgery, there is so much to do and it piles up, plus now my 25 year old body (ha!) "ain't what it used to be" and the fun has gone out of it completely!  

Ever feel that way? So many folks have said, "if you need anything, please call!  When they say it more than once, I believe them!  So, I have made a list, numbers, comments and all! 

Many have wonderful "gifts" they might not even realize! "Going to the store, need anything?" "Yes, I know that city great, I can drive you!" Want some bran muffins?" "I have plenty of time, sure I'll be there at 2:00!!" "I wish I was closer, I will pray for you,"It goes on and on. No help is too trivial, believe me.

 No I'm not worried, no, I haven't thought about "that" yet, just "one day at a time!  Another reassurance from dad, "it'll all turn out just the way it's supposed to!!"  I am learning how simple it is to "help" a person no matter what! Plus, in helping another we feel good about being needed. And thank you a million for all your help!!
