Upon reflection...

She said, "Be gentle with yourself."

Engagements. Reunions. A back-log of assignments.
Body-fit competition. Eating healthy. Living a little.
Searching for Mr. Right. Discovering myself.
Getting to know me. Getting to know you. Reminders.
Finding god. Someone to talk to. Getting a kitten...or two?
Sleep more. Slow down a bit. Time is what you've got.
You ARE making a difference in their lives.

"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened."
Even Dr. Suess knows the answers :)
