42...is not the answer

to the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything!  Okay, well, maybe it is, but then for sure the question has nothing to do with the age by which I have attained wisdom, found peace or anything of that sort.
Last night and this morning I was thinking about SO many things to blog on...while I was showering, driving, etc. How years of therapy and learning lessons lived has changed who I am and my life philosophy, such as it is.
When is enough, enough, already? When can you tell someone is a favor just TOO big? When is it okay to say, "what you are asking of me has become too hard, too much"?  And how do you do that and still let the person know that they are important to you and you wish you could do more?
How do you tell someone who is struggling with major issues that they are not the center of the universe in a kind and loving way? I have mostly figured out how to be compassionate and how to be firm, but not quite how to be both at once.
Why don't more people find balance between holding on to and creating drama and pain in their lives and "go along to get along" until they are feeling like a doormat to the world.  (Funny thing is a lot of people won't recognize where they are on the spectrum).
How can someone getting 8 hrs of sleep a night feel so absolutely exhausted all day?  Well, at least all I have to do tomorrow is pick a topic and expound upon it!
