It can be difficult to 'just say no', when you're used to saying 'yes'. Balance is indeed the key, and family should come before friends. It's okay to say 'no'. I used to do that all of the time. Not so much anymore. Don't get me wrong; I do help others, sometimes a bit more maybe than I should, but I have been trying to take some time for myself as well.

Thank you for sharing. Take care and have a lovely day! !LADY
