Having one of the best cups of coffee I have had in a while, a decent nights rest, contemplating the day ahead. I love to start out my day like this. I read from One Day at a Time and The Language of Letting Go. One of today's prayers is exactly where I am today:
Today, and whenever possible, God, let me be gentle with myself and others. Help me find the balance between assertive action taken in my own best interests, and love for others. Help me understand that at times those two ideas are one. Help me find the right path for me.
...we may need to get angry to make a decision or set a boundary, but we can't afford to stay resentful.
I have a boundary to set today. It makes me a little fearful because I am one to avoid confrontation. And it will not necessarily be confrontational, but it will mean stating my needs and that is a bit scary. That is new behavior for me and it is something I would have run from in the past.
Today I am grateful I have choices.

Choices definitely.
And doesn't that go back to your blog about Healthy Selfishness?
