This is a wonderful post, for real. More often than not, we think we are obligated to do things even when we are not. That drains us more than we can handle. And for people who always feel entitled to people's money, time and efforts forget themselves. Sometimes, they do not even appreciate the efforts someone has put in for them. I'm glad that you have finally found the way forward and I wish you best of luck in sticking to it.

P s your images are lovely. You take the nicest photos.
