What gives me joy?
Saying
YES
selectively,
 |
| "Affirmative" by MeriMagic (Meri Arnett-Kremian) on Polyvore. |
only to those things that
ignite my curiosity,
fan the flames of my passion
or hold some seed of possibility
I find worth planting
given other demands on my time.
That's been a hard lesson for me to learn.
For too long, I said yes reflexively.
To almost anything and anyone.
That's an invitation for burn-out.
One of the wisdom gifts of getting older
is discernment.

Saying yes reflexively is likely part of human nature. I love that I get to read this today - "One of the wisdom gifts of getting older is discernment." And what beautiful art! I love it.

Lovely picture! Yes is too easy to say sometimes and said to keep from being asked, "Why not?" Thank you for this reflection! Cathy
I totally agree with you...a great gift we are given is discernment as we age...Now why can't we have this when we are younger?
So wise and spot on, I love your musing. Thank you for sharing and hosting the party.
Yes, I like the composition, exquisite, like your self.
Yes,Yes,Yes x
Saying yes and no, simply usuing my true voice...working on that still.
Your art brings me joy and so does your friendship.
