i, like most people in my cutlure, have a problem of saying "yes".
even if means i give up my time to make dinner.
or eat dinner.
or work out.
or study for my extrememly important test coming up.
i'm not sure why i continue to say "yes".
it always brings me to tears.
lots and lots of tears.
so, instead of being roped into playing pinochle with
a friend and her 93 year old grandfather,
or playing the organ
(wth=what the heck. i have NEVER played the organ in my life!)
on sunday,
or being called as the ward choir pianist,
which i can't commit to anyway because of clinicals
my answer will now be "no".
let me practice a little bit.
"Laura, would you teach the lesson for me this week?"
no.
"Could you speak at a fireside on sunday?"
no.
no.no.no.no.no.
(sigh)
p.s. sorry blake. "NO" also means no more tears.
I hear you Laura. I have a hard time saying no. Now that you are on your path to sanity maybe you could help me?!
