I am not one of those paint on a smile kind of people though. If I am stressed, everyone around me gets to experience it :) My problem is the saying no part. I hate to disappoint people or hurt anyone's feelings ;) This makes me a "yes" woman all of the time. I have a crocheted NO word by my telephone to remind me to say no. It is especially difficult when the church folks call- it feels like I am saying no to God ;) I am really working on this. I am not one of those paint on a smile kind of people though.
