Maybe... Means No

Recently, I almost agreed to going on a sailing trip with a friend aboard her "new-to-her" boat. I actually really wanted to go! However, making it happen meant rearranging a weekend that already felt full to me. Every time I 'checked in' with myself, something in me went, “Mmm…”. So, I declined the invitation.
Later, when I heard how my friend's first sailing trips went, I had to laugh. Turns out that they weren't quite what either of us may have imagined. Me not being there worked out beautifully for both of us, in the end. I’m learning to pay attention to that little “mmm” before my head starts automatically making a case for "yes".
