ME TIME

How many of us in our busy lives
Stop once in a while for some ME
TIME?  I'm not talking about being pompous
And showing how conceited you can be.

I'm talking about when you've been
So busy helping everyone else that you
Don't take care of yourself to recharge--
And that will just not do.

You need to go somewhere where
There is quiet and you feel tranquil,
And at peace.  No texts or e-mails from
Work or worrying about paying bills.

It may be at a spa or weekend retreat,
Or a two week vacation somewhere
You've always wanted to go see--
No cubicles, just fresh air.

Commune with God, with nature,
And yourself and your emotions.
Give yourself a chance to find
Answers to all your questions.

Just remember that taking care
Of yourself is just as important
As taking care of others.  You're no help to
Anyone if you're physically and emotionally spent.
