" Within you
there is a stillness
and a sanctuary
to which you can
retreat
at any time
and be
yourself. "
Hermann Hesse
" Love yourself first
and everything else
falls into line.
You really have to
love yourself
to get anything
done in this world. "
Lucille Ball
" Having a good discussion
is like having riches. "
Kenyan proverb
Self indulgence
when it works
is a marvelous
tonic.
Ironic
isn't it
that something "Bad"
can be "Good" too-
Like Drugs or
Love. Depends
I suppose
on who's prescribing.
Just what you need:
Massage,
A cup of
Undisturbed
Undisturbed
At anonymous cafe,
High window view,
Insubstantial film
(with chocolate)
or
Nothing At All
But to be
Left alone
For a while
or
Nothing At All
But to be
Left alone
For a while
Even by
Your own
Pesky Self.
Your own
Pesky Self.
So Self-Indulge at will
My Friends.
By my reckoning
You've earned it.
Don't spurn it.
But continue to pay
Your bills on time.
That you may muse
and amuse
in comfort.

Thanks for the wise advice. If we feel a need for a little indulgence, go ahead. You deserve it. We need to tell ourselves this always.
