What now?

I am leaving the office to go out into unbearable heat and humidity, to go home to face three people who all want my attention.

I want to be grateful for three people who need me; and much of the time I am.

But I still have other needs, and I must pay attention to these needs so that I can walk in honor and dignity.

yes. if you don’t pay attention to your needs you can’t give fully to those who need you. take care of your needs, sweetie…

I know that feeling so well. I know I am blessed with the children I have but damn if sometimes I don’t want to run for the nearest thing smoking with a box of Calgon and find a mountain just for me with a nice big jacuzzi planted smack dab in the middle.
