I truly appreciate it. <br /><br />I still need to work on saying no, but at least I've gotten better at saying yes with conditions!<br /><br />MegganAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649422955156175144.post-71179727699933431342013-01-15T01:17:40.091+10:302013-01-15T01:17:40.091+10:30Thanks Sharon!

Your ...Meggan, thanks for being a guest on my blog. Your blog post hits the nail on the head with many of us who can't say no. And if you're like me, you see a gap somewhere and *volunteer yourself*. <br /><br />I'm seriously going to look at where I can rejig my life so that if I do do other 'stuff', that it doesn't take too much time.<br /><br />Thanks!Eleni Konstantinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12410262752761104440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649422955156175144.post-86796503299079718472013-01-14T23:58:29.290+10:302013-01-14T23:58:29.290+10:30OMG - you're post is sooo timely! Yes, it'...OMG - you're post is sooo timely! Yes, it's hard to say NO for people pleasers like me. But you're right, something's gotta give, and it shouldn't be our insanity. We set ourselves up in life, so having the foresight to know when to say NO is a great start to reprogramming our pleasing natures!

It's sad, and then I feel bad, and then I wind up doing stuff because I don't want everyone to lose out. But maybe that's the lesson they have to learn in order to spur them into action? <br /><br />I'll convince myself I'm doing it for their benefit the next time I'm asked to do something. :)<br /><br />Meggan Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649422955156175144.post-42564734762216370152013-01-14T10:08:07.211+10:302013-01-14T10:08:07.211+10:30Great advice, Meggan.

The problem is, so few people say yes that when someone does, those doing the asking come back again and again.<br /><br />Still, you've done your bit so you can so 'no' with a clear conscience. <br /><br />Good luck with the new books. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
