Amen! It requires honesty between friends. It isn’t fair for someone to keep saying “yes” and not let the other person know how exhausted (s)he is. Then later, a bewildered friend is feeling bad, wondering, “Why didn’t (s)he just tell me (s)he couldn’t fit it in?”
I have a good friend and prayer partner who calls me to pray together, and the first thing she says is, “Am I calling at a good time?” If I say, “no,” it doesn’t offend her in the least. We just opt to talk later.

I always like to say relationships are a balancing act of communication. No, one can read your mind, and the word no is a complete sentence. Love that you and your friend have discovered that as well. Thanks for reading and commenting.
