I need to do some serious soul searching because I tend to say yes to everything that comes along. I know I will enjoy them but don't think of how it puts stress on me. (You would think by now I would have this figured out? Do I need at life coach at age 65?) :)

Saying no hurts
Without going into specific reasons, I (and Gerry on one) decided to say no to three commitments we had previously made. One was just a monthly meeting that I will not attend tonight, another was monthly lunches (Red Hat Ladies) and lastly G and I will not be going on a two week vacation we were planning with friends. I guess you could say "life happens" which I take to mean a person is over-committed. But it was not life that made these choices; we did and now have to make hard choices about them.

It does hurt, even when it's necessary.
And I was sure, after reading the title, that this post was going to be about grandchildren.
Hee hee RM! It's probably a good sign that you are at least catching it and saying no before you actually do the things. I wonder if part of the saying "Yes" to everything has to do with the re-focusing you've been doing with your life.
it's normal to want to say yes to nice things! It is good to know your limits as well.
Yes very hard to accept limits :(
