Question 7
Do I say Yes Enough?
Yes. Totally. Maybe too much.
"There's something about saying yes right away, without overthinking, that makes me not want to change my mind. Yes propels you forward, cannonballs you into life."
We do too much. We do wonderful things: this weekend a trip to the trampoline park, a run, a trip to the bike store, a block party, farmers market, skate park, grocery store, swing set picnic with friends...
We exhaust ourselves. I gave in and said no to seeing a friend's band play because I thought we might collapse.
Even as a kid I constantly worried I would miss out on something. I think what I miss out on is peace, calm, breath. Today while E napped there was this three minute span where S was working and G was looking at books, and I sat there realizing I couldn't remember our house being this quiet ever.
I don't do nothing well. I get antsy, feel like my to do list is reproducing while I turn my back.
I have a lot to learn.
But not now. Now I'm off to Target.
