My Cherished Me Time

I get up at three or four in the morning Because I want to play a couple of hours before I leave for work I love my job, but I love my play time more I have many hobbies, so many choices Some mornings I write poems, other mornings I paint on canvases. I draw cartoons or I play scrabble-type word games I love giving myself this "me time" When I was a young mother I never had any me time. When I was a teenager I didn't either. I worked almost every second I was not in school During my high school years, to get money for college In highschool and college your time is planned by others When you are a young parent, your time belongs to your children My children are grown; my husband is self-sufficient Now I can have me time which is why I wake up at three or four. I do not want to waste one second of my "me time".

We do not realize its value until we do not have it any more.

Keep on enjoying those hobbies Caren. This is an excellent example of making the most of the quality of time. :)

That's so wonderful, Caren. I don't know why, but I require about 9 or 10 hours of sleep, which in my case is broken up by trips to pee. I do love to sleep, though. I'd be much more productive (or maybe not) if I added a couple of hours somewhere.

My mother averaged 5.5 hours of sleep a night; I take after her. My dad could drop off to sleep and deep snore every day after supper around 7:40

I so agree with you! Even retired I do not long for sleep!

I cannot fathom being retired; I believe I would hate that!
