I really enjoyed your testimony the other day, and I was about to stand up and shout hooray with you, and remembered where we were. phew! just in time, but I was still rejoicing inside. I know I was talking to you the other day about the time my waffle maker broke, so I can't remember if I had mentioned that, and if I did, we only make homemade breakfast on Saturday, and sometimes we'll do it for dinner, just to get it in. but most of the time it's cold cereal and we'll have that for dinner a lot too. :) I admire all the great work you do!Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15236078280422691495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1098123146578783206.post-31224027159032005242008-11-01T13:26:00.000-07:002008-11-01T13:26:00.000-07:00Good for you for putting this into words - it can ...Good for you for putting this into words - it can help sort through the mess.

We see other's illusions of perfection and compare it to our worst. Then we feel like real losers. But that's not real life. Learn to say no and do what needs to be done. And don't worry, we all feel overwhelmed often, and feel a lot better after we vent about it!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07130296556161103428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1098123146578783206.post-65712789263607180192008-10-30T06:51:00.000-07:002008-10-30T06:51:00.000-07:00What?

Sometimes it is beneficial to cut back on certain things. Church calling preparation is VERY important, but can it be simplified a bit? Can the PTO volunteer time be reduced a bit? <BR/><BR/>Saying no to extra things when you don't have the time for them is not a bad thing, and you can say it kindly. I've learned to do that, and it really helps! :)Nancy Facehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10468581601513912950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1098123146578783206.post-30393024941521948732008-10-30T06:21:00.000-07:002008-10-30T06:21:00.000-07:00It's all about finding that balance, and that can ...It's all about finding that balance, and that can be so tough.

Some time you just have to learn to say No to some things, its hard and I have a hard time doing it but at some point you can't do everything and you can't beat yourself up over it either, preaching to the choir...and when you figure out that mind shut off switch will you let me know :)Corrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15258823571647478322noreply@blogger.com
