SB Challenge....

Fran asked something interesting in her Friday 5's and that being :  do you accept help and assistance ?  Most of us said NOPE...  well aren't we just all self sufficient!  LOL   I'm thinking we all need to accept help when we could use it... forget the burn the bra routine let's start to make our life easier and except some help... OK??????


So the challenge is this:   let's all try to accept help and assistance when it's offered .   When you do ..... come back here and tell us all about it,, no matter how insignificant it may be.  If your dh wants to sweep the porch, let him, say thank you sweetie and report back.   If someone offers to go to the post office for you, let them,, and then report back here.   If someone wants to hold the door open for you, let them,, we all know you are capable of opening the darn door, but let someone do something nice for you, you deserve it.    From now until,, June 30th.  Let's see how long the list in this thread can get.... I'm betting we can get this thread up over 200 acts of assistance......    this should be fun.    Who's in ??? Don't forget to report back when you allow some help and assistance in your life.

LOL Ann....I would have to work up to asking for help, too. Maybe we should try it at least once this month....it might get easier once we ask the first time and who knows, we just might like it;-)

A combo asking and accepting help:


My ds asked if while we were in Munich he should come and water the plants.

Great idea! :)


I usually get offered help when I am out with the boys by myself...a lot of people will hold the door open for us, which I think is so nice :)

Here are a couple:


Dh, just to humor me, I think, looked at my car to see why it was clunking when I turned, stopped, or went over a bump.
