ME! ME! ME;>!

[mdehners]

One thing that yesterday's semi-rant did was focus my thoughts. I've been "In Service" most of my life. As a kid, helping with my grandparents(Grand Duffys and Grandma Jefferson)and as an adult as a Nurse. Then, of course being a child of Nun-run Catholic school Guilt trips I got involved with Environmental, Social Justice and Health Movements. I taught what I'd learned Spiritually to those Interested and up to 5 yrs ago I was on the local health dept's Patient Advisory Board. Then came last month.
Now, I'm finally admitting it: I'm a tired old Queen with Health Issues on Disability. It's OK to let folks Do or Not Do the Work not completed. I've Done Enough.
So, 2017 is going to be the Yr of Me. I'm going to take care of myself and my loved ones and leave the rest of the World up to, well the rest of the World;>.
I'm finally Retiring;>.....
Cheers,
Pat

I hope you find it restful, and that you don't get called out of the stable too often!

I'm going to try, though the few times I've caught news reminds me I want NOTHING to do with THAT world anymore!
Cheers,
Pat

Good. I respect you a lot for how much you've done - but you deserve care taking too.

Thanks! I have to every now and then remind myself all the Good I've done in my Life when my childhood programming kicks in(or my "Perfectionism", thinking no one else can do it as well. Though sadly;>....). I think it's well time enough to Work on stuff that ONLY benefits me of my little family. Last month may have shown me that a lot of folks shouldn't be trusted even with dull scissors but maybe the results of their Stupidity MIGHT finally teach them something.
But probably not....
