[QUOTE="Malika, post: 486746, member: 11227"] IC Emergency action required! You must create half an hour, at least, a day that is just for "you" - in that time, you let all responsibility and worry drop. You take the dogs for a walk (in all that snowy wilderness outside your log cabin), listen to music, read a book, meditate, visit a girlfriend (or have her come over), go shopping just for you... How can I, you may well cry... when there is this to be done, that to be done. Well, you can because... going through life like an automaton doing all that needs to be done is not the point of anything. Here is one of those poems that your mother may have liked: What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare. No time to stand beneath the boughs And stare as long as sheep or cows. No time to see, when woods we pass, Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass. No time to see, in broad daylight, Streams full of stars, like skies at night. No time to turn at Beauty's glance, And watch her feet, how they can dance. No time to wait till her mouth can Enrich that smile her eyes began. A poor life this if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare. [/QUOTE]
