With all I have to do each day...I now know to preserve my body and my sanity...I have to find time for me....to let my branches stretch out; to soak up the rays of all things good in this life.
I have lived a few years...I have raised three children of my own and a few who were given birth by other women who chose to run and play instead of taking care of their offspring. That's okay though, I do not mind that part.
I have experienced the death of my parents, two of my brothers, a beloved Aunt, and a daughter-in-law just in the past few years. I guess I am feeling my own mortality. There is more to me than bookkeeping, sales, phone calls, cooking meals, cleaning house, doing laundry, running errands, and trying to please everyone...
Today, I am learning to please me....how superficial you may say, how narcissistic, how down right selfish....Bah, humbug, (Ol' Ebenezer may have had a point at times) I say to those who might make such utterances or mental judgments...
There is nothing selfish about taking care of oneself. There is nothing narcissistic about caring enough about yourself to say...No, I can't do that right now. I have me on my agenda. Heck, I am worth it! What about you?
As a matter of fact...I need to end this blog, give my keyboard a deserved rest and go have my hair, hands, and feet done. There is nothing like a good pedicure to give a person a new lease on life....Sometimes, it makes me feel like a new woman....if they are done particularly well....they make me feel like a new man...but don't tell my husband....I let him think it is him. But then, my husband is always the man in my life.....(LOL)
