Remember to take some "You time"

It's a bit cold here for my "me time"

Live outside the pale

July 2, 2003. Wednesday 7:55pm

Following are my thoughts about 4 years after being fired from my job as a Deputy Public Defender in Modesto, California in 1997:

“Come with me.

Sun yourself in a quiet, private, walled garden.

Meditate.

Quit. Get away.

Be thankful there  is someone else out there to do  your job once you are gone.

It gives you “you” time.

Wear shorts.

A Hawaiian shirt.

Dine by the window at noon at Clayton’s.

Start a journal.

Read Thoreau’s “Walden Pond”.

Unplug your phone.

Study a flower’s detail.

Close your eyes.

What do you hear?

Take a hot shower.

Study an old family photo album.

In-joy. Life outside of the pale.

In other words, live outside of the pale.

End of this part of the entry.

Notes:

Clayton's was a restaurant in Modesto

"Outside the pale" means to live outside of socially accepted ways of being and thinking

She's right, gotta make time for rest!

Tonight will be a lovely Shabbat to curl up and give yourself some much needed time for YOU!  What are you doing this Shabbat for YOU?
