Lessons in humility

My mom and brother informed me that the reason I am still single is due to the fact that I'm too independant. So I have come to the conclustion that "Yankee B****" = too independant and "Southern Belle" = helpless. So I need to become a "Yankee Belle", keeping a litle of my independance while admitting I'm a little helpless. So after coming to this conclusion I tried to change my own headlight on my car today and I had to finally ask John for help after I couldn't get it done on my own. A big lesson in humility. It reminded me of a couple weeks ago when it was pouring down rain after church and I jokingly asked my guy friends to pull my car around. One of them said "Aren't you an independant woman?". Aw crap! I can't have it both ways, but I've had to be an independant worman. Now though, I think I need to show my softer, feminine side.
