Singing the Song of Life

I am singing the song of life today And skipping a little and twirling but secretly. I am on a roll, clever more to myself than to any others, for I am the easiest to please, am I not? Pretending I care about others, yet at this second, it is all about me. Me. Me. Me. Me. Me. Okay, enough of that. If I keep that up, my heart song will disappear forever For to be honestly happy, and amazingly enthusiastic, the song of life has to be about your service to others, right?

I think once in a while we need a me day but yes, in serving others we find fulfillment not necessarily at the time but as we look back. Sounds like you need a long soak, a flute of champagne and time alone!

I truly am ready for that long soak; and time alone I can never glean enough of it.
