Saying No

I said 'no' last night in an email...no to taking on a commitment. It felt kind of strange since it's something I've done before, an event that I've planned and often willingly participated in. But this time, I said 'no'. In looking at my life it might seem strange that I find myself in that position, but it was just too much to think about, too much to add to the already packed calendar. So, I went with my gut, am sticking with it, and hoping that they'll be okay asking me again in the future.
