I am not alone

I'm coming to a remarkable discovery:  (Don't laugh)

I'm not alone, and I don't have to do everything myself... things can still turn out okay if I don't know how to fix my car or buy a house or drive on ice.  There are people who are able to do the things I can't and I have been amazed, and quite glad to find that they are willing, and even happy, to do what I can't. 

My song of the week(s) has been "Everything will work out... somehow."  Surprisingly, to me anyway, it has. Far more easily than I'd imagined.

I've had rides to work when my car was in the shop, and again when the ice was just too much for my deficient winter driving abilities. I've had experts weigh in on subjects I know absolutely nothing about, and I've had rare and very welcome overtime at work to pay for the things that have been costly, and because they're costly, frightening. Turns out, I had no need to fear at all.

I'm not only coming out nearly no worse off for the trouble, but I'm gaining favor and trust, and building relationships.  The surprise to me is that it's happening not by being only a super go to it achiever, always giving, but lately, by having a need that someone else can fill. 

Who knew?
