  2. The key word here is "time" and it seems like there is never enough of it (even in retirement). I love how you have written about all my special things to take time for. Your last line says it all - even a few minutes can be good for your mind and spirit.

  4. It's what I wrote about today, only my approach was finding time. Hard to do, but maybe if there's a wonderful list, like yours, & one posts it prominently, like on the fridge or in one's journal, it will happen. Best to you & thank you for this.

  6. I constantly need this reminder! Pay yourself first . . . I know this and I've heard this over and over. We all say we don't have enough time, but you are right -- a few minutes will do and we must TAKE the time! Thank you!
