Today is the second of November.
As we enter this ever-so-overly-scheduled season of the year, here’s my question for you:
Do you dare make a change this year?
What do you mean, Danka?
This:
What are you two going to say “NO” to?
On purpose.
Thoughtfully.
And holding each other to it.
You do know it’s available to you, right?
Just like its lovely counterpart? (the one that starts with a Y and ends with ES?)
You know that you can do that, say ‘no’, that is?
You don’t have to participate in all the school things.
All your kids’ friends’ things.
Do all the work parties.
Go to all the games, or the practices, or meets…
All the church things.
The family things – the ones that you feel obligated to attend with those people whose first name you barely remember?
All the neighborhood things…
You can say no to some of those things.
We’re on the same page.
Agreed?
Alright, now that we got that out of the way –
What is it gonna be?
Get each other on board, and make that decision today.
Or better yet – Agree to make that decision once a week.
Between now and the end of the year.
Together.
On purpose.
Make space for YOU.
The two of you, I mean.
Because you care about this person more than you care about anyone else in the world.
The you, the 2023 January you, will be grateful.
I know it.
And so do you.
