Take a day off...

I took the day off....
not from work...just from my mind....myself...
no thinking...no analyzing...no wondering...no adding to half baked dreams....
just breathing....and being....
It is tougher than most things...
to tell oneself its okay...its okay to take a break from yourself...
from the worrying and wondering and hoping and dreaming....pondering...
of wanting something to happen so bad that it gives you a bellyache!

What did I do?
I read a book,
gazed at the over cast skies,
held a cup of coffee and ...
watched the snow fall in all its hush....glide to the earth...and make a white quilt...
I watched an old movie and talked to an old friend.....

And then....took a deep breath....and told myself ... you are entitled....you are worth it....
you are worthy of your dreams, thoughts and aspirations!!
