Last night we sat out on the deck of our camp in the Adirondacks and observed the stars overhead, marveling in the vastness of the universe. Tonight, we landed back in Las Vegas, marveling at the bright lights of the Strip. Summer and Fall in the mountains and Winter and Spring in the desert – it’s the best of both worlds. It’s a chore to open and close our cabin in the mountains, something I’ve done for nearly 2 dozen years – the effort is worth it. But that effort has gotten harder as I’ve gotten older, and my daughter offered to help – she loves the mountains too and gladly assisted with this effort. There was a point in time where I knew I needed the help but was too proud to ask – fortunately, she offered, reminding me that there’s no shame in asking for help. It’s no different in many of the things we all do every day – thinking we can but knowing we really can’t and should ask for assistance. That’s what family, friends, neighbors, and colleagues do for each other. Don’t be too proud to ask for help today.
