The older I get the more I feel entitled to more and more time for me. I want the days that I have left on this earth to be the richest possible and at least for now that includes some time for me to do the things I want to do. Now don't get me wrong I spend plenty of time taking care of everybody else's wants and desires but sometimes I just want some quiet time for me to sit and think and not have to deal with my family and my friends and the wants and desires of others.

Just in case you were wondering what that would mean to me I thought I would spell it out for you in some sort of detail so you if you ever get a wild hair to grant a wish for me you will know exactly what would make me happy. One more precaution before I get flooded with people telling me how selfish you have to make sure you know that the needs or wants I have are not that great and like I just said you would be amazed at the number of things that I do for other people. But I suppose that is tooting my own horn and I don't want to come across as both egotistical and self centered so enough about that.

To start with the real desire of my heart is to be at peace. Have you ever had a moment when you were completely at peace? Well, that is what I am looking for. Those times on the beach when all the world is millions of miles away and for the life of you, you can't remember why you were so stressed out yesterday or the day before for that reason.

I want to live that way and for some reason it keeps alluding me. I keep blaming it on my busy life but it may just be me that has it all wrong. You have heard those that say you can be peaceful no matter what you are doing so I probably need to learn to get that beach feeling while I am doing laundry and fixing dinner or for that matter doing the dishes.
