A Little Help

Earlier today, I decided on a new site for advertising Dragon Knits. To do this, I need to email pictures and logos in a particular size to the site. For me, the process of editing pictures and getting them to the appropriate size ends in hours of wasted effort, computers that are treated less-than-kindly, and language that's just not ladylike. Well, normally, in a move of fiercely stubborn I'll-do-it-myself nonsense, I would begin the photo manipulation even knowing how it would turn out. But, today, I decided to do things a little differently. I asked myself, "What would be the simple thing to do here? What would avoid time-wasting and frustration?" Hmmmm.... I just happen to have a husband who works with computers professionally, so maybe he could help me here. (I know - that took a brain leap of monstrous proportions.) So I asked him for help and he happily agreed. Could it get more simple than that?

Moral of the story? Life is much simpler if you ask for help with the things that are weaknesses for you. It really cuts down on ungracious word choices. ;) You're sure to know someone who can help you out, but be certain to make your own strengths available to others as well.
