I have a friend whose first response to many things one asks her to do is, "No, I'm not doing that." She does not holler or say this in a mean way. She states it in a matter-of-fact manner. The only way she changes her mind is if she gets more information that causes her to rethink her initial "No" response. I used to tease her about this, but now I am beginning to follow her logic more closely. This year, I have said "Yes" to more projects than usual. As a result, I have been busier than a retired person should be. The year of 2012 will be a year of me pacing myself more and using the term, "No, I won't be able to take on that task. Thank you for asking, though."
Take care,
Sylvia
