Time just goes... I could have opted to see more people I feel are good for me but I didn't. I could have done a long distance walk to prep for my Camino in August. But I didn't. I took time to just do things that are mindless and for me---like learning some French. I am happily plodding through the exercises. I am learning vocabulary and some nuances in regard to conjugating but I am not overly concerned as I also downloaded Google translate for my August sojourn. I want to be able to make my wants and needs known and maybe make a friend from France- mon ami. I want to be able to order food -un café et un croissant. I am tickled that at almost 54 I still yearn to learn new things. I still desire to have adventures, maybe even more so now that I am older and have a greater appreciation of time.
What have you done to nurture your soul? How have you been "selfish'? I have developed selfishness to an art. And I am not ashamed. When needed by others, I will rise to the occasion but I have learned to chill out when times are calm and to nurture my own needs, to establish a list of things I want to do and to attain them. That gets me through the times when I have other "stuff" of life to do- maybe things I don't necessarily want to do but have to do. We have to remember to take care of our own needs to be able to take care of others.
Do something for you....
