Be Your Own Best Friend

To do complete honor to yourself,
You have to become your own best friend.
It’s fun, too, because you give yourself permission
To do all the things you like to do.

My best friend and I love to paint, cartoon, drum, 
Chant, garden, and play with children.  We don’t have
To take turns, because we always agree.

What is your current ‘me’ time? Do you have a ‘me day’?
I do.  And since I started the little me day with my best
Friend, we are happier and healthier than we have ever been.
Right best friend? Right!

Make a list of the things you used to love to do, but
Do not do any more. You best friend is waiting, and she/he
Wants to begin right away.  Study your list.  Learn as much
About yourself as you can.  What do YOU really want to do?
Your best friend is already on board, so you don’t have to
Compromise.

Another advantage is this; it is very difficult to dump yourself.
