I am learning to seriously take some time for myself.  I have a friend that I have been sharing with that is very wise.  It is important to be careful who you share your inner most feelings with.  It needs to be with someone you trust with wound judgment.  Anyway, she has challenged me to take 30 minutes per day for some down quiet time for myself.  She told me to stop and ask myself what do I need today.  So I am in training.  This is a huge challenge. 

I have been on overdrive for so long.  I have completely come to the conclusion that I have a tendency to just keep going and going to the point I am completely physcially and emotionally wearing myself.  There is no great quality of life.  It is just conquer, conquer, conquer.  It feels very strange to stop and enjoy life.  So wish me luck.  I am grabbing some music, maybe a fun read and just going to relax even if I have to drive to a park and sit.  I am actually really enjoying this.
