You are a community of friends who remind me to think of "me" more and give me permission to consider my own needs. Thank you. It's not going to be easy, and I know some people are going to get a bit huffy over things, but if I cannot be effective in the voluntary commitments any longer, it does feel like time to let someone else have a go!<br /><br />Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10875708145472914122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493748718507781603.post-22325819412007570742014-11-08T17:42:00.880+00:002014-11-08T17:42:00.880+00:00You definitely need to take care of you.

Time for yourself is a big factor. Perhaps a pullback of commitments is necessary.Cheapchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158208632054014311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493748718507781603.post-52725445823177549472014-11-08T11:49:15.670+00:002014-11-08T11:49:15.670+00:00Sending hugs.

Also, whatever you give up, you know that there will be times when you cannot do so much and times when you have more to give. Ecclesiastes has a lot of sense, there are ebbs and flows. <br /><br />Sending massive hugs WS xxxLyssa Medanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07350926829113722058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493748718507781603.post-69055959135264301612014-11-08T08:27:01.285+00:002014-11-08T08:27:01.285+00:00Sometimes the smart thing is to listen to your bod...Sometimes the smart thing is to listen to your body and do what it tells you to do. You cannot do everything no matter how hard you try and before you know it you are dropping all the balls and feeling miserable.

Yes, you must look after yourself. Yay for knitting!It's so therapeutic, I've just checked out Elaine's stormy weather shawl over on Mortgage Free in Three & am looking forward to trying it. If you do drop a commitment then school governership would be a good one as it would free up a lot of time and you have been a stalwart for some time now, I'm sure you have done your share for a while. Most people don't understand just how onerous it is. I've had to cut back commitments twice in the last few years, it's always a hard call to make, but we all only have 24 hours in the day & it's best to do several things wholeheartedly rather than skimp on some things. That's my view, anyway. I'm sure you will make the right decision, acknowledging that it needs to be done is the start, you will know what feels like the best solution for you. Take good care of yourself, & have fun knitting, <br />Vee xx veeknits19https://www.blogger.com/profile/16289644776490481108noreply@blogger.com
