I feel proud today

I feel proud of myself today.

Not because I've been working out, cleaned my apartment, or done the dishes and laundry. I haven't.

I feel proud because of what I said.

I was going to have dinner with a friend. We've known each other for ages, and it's always a pleasure when we see each other.

One thing that wasn't very pleasurable, though, was my sleep last night. I woke up far too early and couldn't fall asleep again. I feel sooo tired...

Since the dinner had been planned for weeks, it felt bad to cancel it. So what could I do? After considering different options, I realized what the best solution was:

Cancel it.

My friend didn't mind at all. She totally understood when I explained why.

I feel proud because I said no.
