Trying to Say "Yes"

Those of you who have read my blog are aware that I have control issues. And perfectionist issues. And... well, let's just say that I have issues.But in my attempt to stay on the Sunny Side of the Street, I am trying to let go and have some fun. And in that spirit, I am trying to say "yes" more than "no". Because "no" is a word that I have found myself saying MUCH too much lately.Saturday morning, my daughter found a bag of streamers. (How I got an entire bag of streamers is a whole other story and one which I will spare you.) She comes to me and asks if we can have a party. A streamer party!Now I am sitting on the couch surrounded by a Spring Break's worth of laundry. Soccer starts the next day and back to school the day after. The logical side of me screams, "NOOOOOOOOOO!" but miraculously I hear myself say, "yes".And this is what came from that "yes".

And this...

But most of all, this...

And those smiles made saying "yes" (and the accompanying mess) worth it! But there was more. I danced in the streamers. I played. I had fun. Ifelt like a kid which definitely helped me stay on the Suuny Side.What have you said "yes" to lately?Full disclosure: I did make the bed before taking the picture. I wasn't willing to let go that much -- LOL!
