HAVE A LITTLE ME TIME

I'm so good at taking care of everyone else.....my family, friends and my work, but in doing that, I neglect in taking care of me.  How many of us do that?  Do you spend all your time on other people, but not on yourself?  Eventually, you'll burn out and won't be there for others.  

Decide today to invest some time for yourself.  Take time to relax.  When you are refreshed emotionally, physically and spiritually, you are able to give back to others.  When you bring balance to your life, you will begin to enjoy life to the fullest.

God Bless.

Hi! Love your quote too!
I typically say, "When my cookie jar is empty . . . there is nothing left to give."
I've finally learned to refill my own cookie jar.
Have a Happy 4th of July! Carol

I agree totally with what you wrote in your journal. Making time for yourself is one of the very best investments in yourself you can make. And "Only" you can make that investment......


I LOVE your quote too! How every true that is..."Minds are like parachutes. They only function when they are open.".....


And I agree with this quote too......A "MIND" is a terrible thing to waste....


To bad our government leaders choose not to accept this. They have put education on a back burner. They are far more willing to spend our tax dollars on wars abroad, then they are willing to building our countries intra-structure or educate our youths. So very sad but so very true......

Sincerely, Tom
