say yes to more invitations and actually GO!

I’m definitely getting there on this one…or got there if all I’m aiming at is saying yes to more….I already do that now, but want to increase it…

Sat I went to my first big social event at the school where i work – had a fab evening and met loads of new people…

I would have rather spent the eve with a glass of wine and the tv before I went, but had such a good time I’m so glad I made the effort! 11 months ago

Recently I was really ill…it made me realise how I’ve given too much importance to work and not enough to having a life and friends.

I realised when I was ill, it’s not work that’s there for you but your friends and family who I’ve not been spending enough time with.

So…despite not being fully better yet, I’ve given up some evening working and been out 5 times in the last 2 weeks – the first social thing I’ve been to at work which I loved, then coffee and lunch with friends and this week Sunday ;lunch and an evening meal at friends houses. Things that I’d have said no to or just not found the time for…

I’m also planning on going to an event tomorrow evening which I’ve always said no to…

keeping this on here for now as I’m not sure saying yes has set in enough as a habit yet! :) 12 months ago

Well, I went to the wedding yesterday….but not the birthday party…but I’ve been ill for a while so even managing the wedding was more than i’ve been able to do. A bit cross with myself about the party but I was exhausted after the wedding and even if I’d been well it would probably have been too much in one day…

So, not going to beat myself up but going to give myself a pat on the back as I nearly didn’t do the wedding either! 16 months ago
