Squishing in all the puzzle pieces
You can’t fit it all in. And that's completely fine.
Trying to make all the pieces of your life fit—along with every new thing that comes along—ends with dropping the parts that you didn’t expect.
Sometimes saying no, even to a really good thing, is required.
When the decision is made you may look back with regret, but it’s just not possible to do everything that you'd want in the time available.
Does that mean every no is the right one? Of course not. But sometimes a no allows another yes to come in, and part of the mystery of all that is seeing where life takes you.
And yes, this is my way of apologizing for missing out on the upcoming board game day. I’ll make it up to you guys.
