More than humbling

A co-worker and I were chatting, electronically, of course. We are still teleworking, and she works in Oregon.

She had fallen and sprained her ankle, so I asked how she was.

OK, she replied. “It’s very humbling.”

The “it’s” referred to relying on others.

Well, yeah. Sometimes, I think it is more than that.

I know we all need to depend on others at some point in time. But depending on people at almost every minute of every day takes a heavy toll.

I wonder if that is my problem, and if it is, I better get over it quick.
