I brought in to work a poster for the Celebrate Newton crafts fair (Sunday Dec 4) that we’re taking Zum Gali Gali Rubber Stamps to (and however many homemade knitting needles I can have by then) to put up on a bulletin board there.
As I was looking for a push pin to put the poster up, a lovely young woman walked by and asked what I was looking for. I said, “just a push pin to put this up.” She said, “Oh, I have some in my office, would you like me to get one?” Normally I would have said “No thanks, I have some in my office too,” but I stopped myself in time and said, “Yes, please.” I consider that a small but significant growth in social skills, being willing to accept help. I don’t know if I can make it a habit.
