Also know that when you say...A wise person indeed.<br /><br />Also know that when you say "No thanks" or "Sorry, I can't" to people, you are not letting them down. Certainly they would love to have you say yes, but only if you can honestly give what you're being asked to give. Saying no can even help people; for one thing, it models for them an example of how it's okay to say no, because most of the people you say no to are also struggling with time balance (I assume; because don't most of us struggle with that?).<br /><br />You don't have to fill everyone's bucket; there are other wellsprings people can go to. Think of your friend in the chapter "Snapping" in your book about friendship, how she depleted herself until she could give nothing more to anyone. Nobody is obligated to get to that point.Jennifer R.
