Say yes.

I bought some beautiful yarn a few weeks ago. When the sales clerk asked if I’d like her to wind the skein into a ball, I said no. She’d been super nice to me and I didn’t want to impose on her. Besides, how hard is it to wind a skein into a ball? Heck, I could recruit my husband to help. He could sit on the couch with me and hold the skein while I unwound it like they do in the movies. I pictured us talking about our feelings and laughing, because yarn does that.

No, it doesn’t.

First of all, the second you jostle the skein, it becomes a knot that requires three NASA engineers to unwind. I didn’t have any rocket scientists at my disposal, so I spent 5 HOURS untangling this yarn. That’s not a typo, by the way. Five hours. I laughed, I cried, I cursed myself for not accepting the sales clerk’s help.

Moral of the story: Say Yes When Someone Offers To Help.

Love,

Lynn
