Today I learned that it’s okay to take some “me time.” Today I learned that it’s okay to take a nap. Today I learned that I don’t have to be anything to anyone, let alone everything to everyone. Maybe I knew it once. It was a refreshing lesson.

Today I also learned that I have to be able to judge, for myself and for my family’s sake, when to step back. I learned that not only is it okay to step back, it’s 100% okay to close doors for a day. For two. For as long as I need. Her words, not mine.

But the decision is my own.

Peace.
