I’m learning to block the INCOMING shots fired from the field by surrounding my heart with invisible window screening and turning down the interior spotlights so the target is not as easily visible from the outside. That’s how I’m learning to say the word NO, and selectively choosing my path in the cacophony of people-pleasing noise that has been the lifetime fuel for my engine.
I share this Facebook meme today because it hit solidly its target and interpreted as yes….it’s working…I can identify with it…instead of interpreting – ya…why do I feel the need to explain myself…why can’t I just say no, how do I stop the guilt of “should” when I do say no?
This particular meme that traveled its way to me through the Facebook algorithm was very timely and taken personally into my heart with a gratitude confirmation that I have choices…yes, no, maybe or more importantly, I do not owe anyone an excuse or apology for my decisions.
And so it is……

I see one of the blessings of getting older is being less concerned with absolutely everything everyone else thinks. I am not sure we are capable of this when we are younger.

I think when I saw this meme on your facebook, I didn’t quite understand it. I did not really comprehend that last part. I saw it earlier in the day when I was dealing with my morning pain. I’m not as with it then. I understand the meaning now. I hope I didn’t in anyway offend you or put you off by my comment on your facebook page.
