Dream of kids chasing Mel with needles / Putting myself first is NOT being selfish!

Had a weird dream which involved kids outside a store chasing Mel with needles, David trying to share things with other kids, soy sauce going for $3 when it was normally $6 (and these were normal bottles, not HUGE ones!), 100-piece packs of seaweed going for $10, the grass being made of all the people who had walked the earth before us, various houses and castles just disappearing when we wanted to see them, the NAME CASTLE staying in place (but only because Karla and I agreed to be in someone's bed for the night - only we were represented by clay blobs), and shimmering fences. What the heck?!

Then I got up and fielded an email from my mom: someone should really tell her that "wet kisses" is NOT an appropriate thing to sign off with! She also managed to misspell Jon's nickname again... it's FLIME, and not FLAME! (or "film," as she once rendered it...)

You Put Yourself First

By putting yourself first, you're actually not being selfish. You're just being realistic. You like to help others as much as the next person... maybe even more. But you know you need to be at the top of your game in order to really give back. You take good care of yourself, and you have learned the art of tactfully saying "no." It's all about balance. You try to stay away from people and activities that drain you. You prefer to save your energy for those who really matter to you.

Do You Put Yourself First or Last?

Work is Hard. Time for Blogthings!

Ha, I *knew* I wasn't being selfish a few weeks ago! (to name but one example...)
