As I sit down with my coffee

I review the items on my to do list in my head

To see what I have done and what’s left

-organize basement (a multi-day activity)

-water flowers

-go to the pharmacy

-buy batteries for the bathroom scale

-Make an agenda for an upcoming meeting

-grocery shopping

-preparing dinner

…..

But sometimes the to do list 

Needs to be modified 

And ‘me time’ added to the top

Time do do what makes me happy 

Time to replenish my energy

Time to be creative 

And I chose to do that right now

There are many things I must do 

Some urgent, some less so

But now I chose to take care of myself

So I will be refreshed 

And able to do what must be done
