Ray, I’m sure you’ve done plenty of soul searching to try to analyze your current state of mind and spirit. How do you feel after you’ve cancelled? Relieved? Content to move along with your day? Or are you saddened by the fact that you won’t be seeing people who are interested in visiting you?
Is it possible that after being somewhat isolated (similar to Covid) that you prefer your simple lifestyle/routine?
Best wishes for happiness,
Cindy

Good morning, Cindy (@cmdw2600)
That’s very perceptive. You’ve got me thinking. I think, when I’ve cancelled a suggested get-together with a friend, the immediate feeling is (I’m almost embarrassed to say) relief. But it doesn’t last long, ordinarily only minutes. I then feel regret, remorse, or to use your well-chosen word, saddened. I’ll be thinking: I’ve blown another opportunity; now I’ll have to wait for the next opportunity to come along, and when it does, I’ll not cancel, not again, never again!
There’s more I could say on this. As I said just above: You’ve got me thinking. (I love it!) But I’ve a doctor’s appointment coming up shortly and I need to get ready for that.
Thank you tenfold for your message. I wish you a good Wednesday.
Cheers!
