Sometimes I think I need to address difficult situations by myself and become more embroiled in them as I wrestle with what to do. Then I reach the point where I realize that I don't have to handle it by myself and that others are willing to assist me if I just ask. I have weathered such a difficult situation lately and am thankful to those who came to my assistance, especially Joe H.
