I Want to Have Joy
her energy was going fast
there were too many have tos in her life
not enough get tos
I want to have joy, she told her mother
her mother was a sprite, a fairy godmother,
enthusiastic, the personification of joy
she said “throw out the have tos for at least one day.
Do not give them room in your brain or your heart.
Do what you want to do.
Nurture yourself
Pamper yourself'"
Great advice!
