I say "yes, yes, yes" to the freedom to say "no"! Took me a long time to learn that lesson, and I clearly remember one of the first times I felt really good about saying no. I took a few years of organ lessons but 11 years of piano, and played piano at church for many years. People were always asking me to play the organ for weddings, and I felt obligated to do it even though I hated it. And then I turned 40, and somebody asked me to play organ for their wedding. All of sudden I thought, "I'm 40 years old and I don't have to do this anymore." So I said no, and it was truly liberating. Since then I have only played PIANO for weddings, and only for those with whom I have a close connection. Great post, Annie. I say “yes, yes, yes” to the freedom to say “no”!

And then I turned 40, and somebody asked me to play organ for their wedding. All of sudden I thought, “I’m 40 years old and I don’t have to do this anymore.” So I said no, and it was truly liberating.
