Dear Folks, For some time I've felt guilty about taking advantage of younger and stronger people than I. For a number of months my neighbor Dawn and her children have hauled my garbage and recycle bin out to the curb on Wednesdays, my neighbor Ken has brought to my side door my daily paper and mail and most recently the neighbor in between them plowed out the snow in my driveway. I'm still trying to adjust to the realization of their helping their neighbor, me. But yesterday (Thursday) was a different situation. I had to take my car in for repairs and when I left the house I noticed that even though my neighbor Dawn had loaded up my recycle bin on Wednesday, she neglected to take it out to the curb. That meant that over the next week I needed to take it inside so that it wouldn't get rain soaked. Oh, well. Nonetheless, I dropped off my car for repairs and the car repair shop gave me a lift home. When we got back to my house, I timidly asked the mechanic if he would take the recycle bin back in the house. He seemed a bit surprised at the request but nonetheless he didn't seem to mind at all. And that's why I feel guilty. I feel that I'm taking advantage of the good hearts of the younger and stronger people even though I know darned well that I'm no longer capable of doing such things myself. It's tough to handle guilt of this sort even though I know darned well that if an older person would have asked me to do them such a small favor when I was younger, I would have been glad to.
