Peer pressure can sometimes almost put us over the edge, but once you learn to say "No", it does get easier. The people around you will also start to realize that they like it better when you are not as stressed and will not ask so much of you. And you will be able to say "No", smile....and be totally happy with yourself for having that strength to do it. Take care of yourself....Hugs ArianeArianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06443998599169190006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8547359357445201023.post-27683063436287192222012-07-16T16:50:11.912-05:002012-07-16T16:50:11.912-05:00So glad to her from you.

We are sorting thru 22 years of stuff, stuff to storage and working nonstop on all the home improvement projects that we've either started or been meaning to start in the last 22 years. All in preparation to move from the beautiful, green side of the Pacific northwest to the barren, brown dry side. Dh will be working in the middle of nowhere and we will be living 30 mies away in "almost the middle of nowhere". I am so not looking forward to this. I look at my sewing room, yet to be tackled and just cry.......LizA.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13948614733590760591noreply@blogger.com
