Why Did I Not Say No

No, I will not say where, but it's not tokyo, Nor is it a getaway to the great state of Idaho But I must say that sometimes my response is too slow, And I find myself, not on top, but somewhere down below. Why did I not say no? Let's face it, often we should be saying goodbye instead of hello. Or why pretend I want sugar-free cookies when I really want an oreo?Why didn't I bother to tell them so? Why didn't I decline and just say no, Rather than recline and go with the flow? Why did I not say no? I really did not, nor do I now, really want to go. I could have said, "Thanks, but no thanks", real mellow. Instead, I went along, feeling wobbly like a bowl of jello. Why didn't I simply and honestly let them know? It's not like 'willingness to go' made me a little hero. Why did I not say no? Now I'm thinking out loud, feeling like a stumped toe, an aching back, and pacing the floor to and fro. Now, I sure wish that I could come up with a veto. However, it would be unfair to become a 'no show'. But still, on a scale of 0 to 10, my desire to go was zero. Why did I not say no? Anyway, the die has been cast, and I'll not create a fiasco. Somehow, I must cheer up and stop feeling so low. Even though it may feel like a shock to the elbow, Sometimes, you have to help others shine and glo. I don't know, but perhaps this will help me grow. 071220PSCtest, Strand Completely New(11)Any Theme, Any Form.B.Strand. HM
