I try really hard to look for ways to say "yes" instead of the knee-jerk reaction "no" (when I know that it would be faster/easier/calmer for me to just do something myself) :)Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13152256449265988269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3964151010777653973.post-33879872744549809252010-07-23T11:34:19.344-07:002010-07-23T11:34:19.344-07:00Shannon, I do the same thing!

Right now, I have a tendency to respond right away and THEN start thinking about the why, and why she's asking for something, and so I frequently end up changing my mind.

I also think if there isn't a good reason other than "I said so", I try to look at if it's really worth saying no to. Thanks for the reminder and your thoughts on it!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04978814800100553322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3964151010777653973.post-2252292284876173492010-07-22T14:21:31.519-07:002010-07-22T14:21:31.519-07:00What a thought provoking post!
