Its a crazy day here. I am enjoying a movie with the kids and have a meeting tonight. Just didn't want you think that we didn't love you Gabby! Looks like a slow day on both abs boards.

Yeah it's a bit slow. Maybe a mid-week lull?

I've felt quite stressed at work lately, and thankfully MWO provides an outlet, some sense of relief for me. At least it's a way for me to pour some of my feelings out into cyberland. It's kind of what I used to do when journaling.

I need to learn how to say NO when asked to take on additional responsibilities. My plate is already full here and I juggle to keep it all going. Can't keep this up for too long. I'm just gratefu that a couple of the projects are dropping off in a another 10 days, as the deadlines will have passed. After that I'm taking a few days off to visit with a friend. (Looking forward to that!!) Then I have a conference in Hawaii. So I'm telling myself, "Just hang in there a little while longer."

But the larger issue is that I need to learn when to say no. I need to learn that I can't please everyone.

Ah, well. One day at a time, right?

Thanks for listening.

I'm sensing a theme....I'm a people pleaser too. First to say it was probably my fault..first to volunteer, first to say..let me do that.
A co worker is having a party - it's called southern living home or something close to that - and I asked another co worker if she was going. She said no she wasn't.
I asked why not and she said -I don't want to go.
wow....can it really be that simple?

When I grow up, I just know I'll be able to say No.

lol. Me too, and hopefully I'll say it nicely, before feeling cornered.
