someone told me

you have some great goals... sleep more... exercise better... de-clutter and reorganize... i keep repeating those to myself daily and some days, i do it but not enough days... and the tasks - and the energy, that comes from the first two... and you don't get to do these things focused on others, you must find the time to focus on yourself, the selfish time to actually do the first two for starters... and yay for your turning off the tv... i sometimes do and sometimes don't... it's distraction for me, but sleep would be much better... it may seem selfish at times, but always remember that you give more and better to others when you are in a better place physically so even the selfless parent can understand that logic - or do you really want to continue lying to yourself when you tell yourself that it's a compromise and you are giving them more time and that's the best you can do?... wanna be creeping around an old person long before you need to be?... reality is real when you step into it...

huge steps are baby steps that you actually take when they are the right baby steps...
