That’s such a gracious way to put it, @GreyPat —yes, being independent doesn’t mean you don’t appreciate a helping hand now and then. And your “thank you” surely makes that small kindness feel even more meaningful.
No shame in that game, @moppyroda ! If we can make life easier and more convenient without causing harm or cost to anyone else, why shouldn't we go for it?
Yes! The "pain" of getting the remote control from across the room is a universal experience. And so true, our own thoughts are enough to deal with, no need to take on anyone else’s!
That's such a wise answer, @myonpal23. There’s something empowering about still being able to do things even when our bodies start slowing down. And yes—what other people think is not always worth our time and energy.
