Why do I say yes to things when I want to say no?

Get a grip, CJ. You're thirty-five years old. It's way past time to cut out this crap. Thirty-five years of doing what OTHER people want you to, and what does it get you? That's right. So stop already.

(Some day, this will be called a handicap, and parents who raise children to do this will be labeled abusers. Improvement?)

We learn different lessons at different rates...be happy it didn't happen at 45 Like for our Mothers.

So true. Except my mom hasn't figured it out yet, at sixty-one... Ah well.

Now that you are aware you can do something about it.

Awareness is half the battle. Unfortunately, I've been fighting the second half for a while! Changing the habits and assumptions of a lifetime is something I'm finding annoyingly difficult. Grrrr.

And thank you, in turn, for your reminder that I am not alone. It's comforting to know other people are learning the same things I'm learning.
