I agree with everyone who said you didn't have to go. I just recently learned to say no to things I feel obligated to do. And I also learned that you don't need an excuse. For me, it feels better to be authentic and say something like, "I'm just not feeling sociable today." Anyone who cares about you will understand. Anyone who doesn't understand is probably feeling envious that they couldn't bring themselves to bow out. And it's OKAY if someone doesn't understand. We all need to love ourselves just a little bit more and take care of ourselves when we're about to do one more thing for someone else.

Hugs {{{{{Soon}}}}} (and by the way I think you should promote yourself to "Forever Remembered")

Love,
Kelly
