My guilty pleasure? Me time.
Why guilty? Because there is a never-ending to-do list that needs to be completed. Because when a friend calls to ask how I'm doing, I listen for 45 minutes to what is going on in her life. Because I suck at saying no, demanding time for myself, and putting my needs anywhere on any list at any time. Because when there is a bit of extra money for shopping, it gets spent on the house or other people. Because I buy my groceries at Dollar Tree to make more money available for the household.
Get the picture? There is a difference between being a nurturer and a woman who does not have the sense to make time to take care of herself. I fall smack dab in the middle of the second! Yes, me time is my guilty pleasure. If I take even a few minutes for myself, the guilt is overwhelming and the thoughts of what I "should" be doing race through my head.
Obviously, this is an area I need to work on improving. One day, the me time will be a pleasure...without the guilt.
Love,
Jerri
