How To Say No

What do I write for myself? 

Ok. So let's start off with something that I was practicing today. How to say No.

Earlier today, I received a text message from Alex asking me if I wanted to just sit together and read sometime later on in the day. At this point though it was 4 oclock and I was on my way to Kris' house to play games and eat with the good ol' Picnic Crew and at 7 oclock I was planning to go to the Moving Feast. So I knew right away that I was going to have to somehow decline, AND I wanted to do it in a way that shared with Alex how much her invitation meant to me, how much I would enjoy doing that at some point, and that not saying yes had nothing to do with whether I wanted to spend time with her or not. This is rather difficult via text message, but the message that I sent her ended up receiving a positive response. I see this as having been a useful encounter, such that I can take this away to the larger conversations that I desire to have with Alex.

I think that's all I can write tonight because my computer's going to die, but perhaps here I'll compile a short list of the things that I'd like to write about here on my blog.

My life in the Household As Ecology
My life in Knowledge Integration
My life in my family 

Creating documents of my goals, plans, dreams, projects

I will save anything design related for the Indigo Design website and blog that I also have.
