I'm proud of myself over a simple thing: I called the woman who cuts my hair and asked her if she had a cancellations for today. Normally I would be too shy to ask. But today I thought why not? And sure enough she did have a time I could do. Now this young woman is getting her engineering degree and only cuts hair on Sundays, and next Sunday is Labor Day weekend, so I admit to a bit of desperation urging me to call. And I thought to myself, well, we've known each other for years. I'm very fond of her, and she's not going to be offended. It's just a glitch in me, that I have trouble asking for anything. My younger daughter has the same shyness.
So if it's not too late to overcome unwillingness to make dinner reservations or asking for help, and I'm trying it out. And so far, so good.
