Welcome to the Tuesday Slice of Life Story Challenge!
WRITE a slice of life story on your own blog.
SHARE a link to your post in the comments section.
GIVE comments to at least three other SOLSC bloggers.
It’s a difficult time of year, even under “normal” circumstances. How are you at saying “NO” to things you can’t afford to give your time or attention? Setting boundaries is an important act of self-care. Now is a good time to start practicing the art of saying “no” when you need to.
But hopefully, you’ll say “YES” to the Tuesday Slice of Life Story Challenge! Connecting with others is also an important way to take care of yourself!

This sounds great! Thanks for the opportunity. I am slowly winding down for the year and trying not to start anything new until January now. But you’re right in saying that connecting with others is a great way to take care of yourself.
