I Write for Me

Most days I get up early 

For my dog Myles, he needs the walk too.

I drive to work and jump the hoops

For patients, hoping to make a difference.

I prep and cook the meals

For my family, wanting them to eat well.

I take the time to meditate and clear my field

For clarity, so I may be of better service to others.

I do the taxes and pay the bills

To maintain integrity and avoid bad consequences.

I check more texts, emails, and media than could ever be healthy,

To remain open and connected to others.

I record my gratitude and attempt optimism

To practice what I preach.

But,

One day each week,

I write for me.

Not to keep the blog schedule

Though it helps.

Or to make a million dollars

Highly unlikely.

Or even to change the world

How ever much I might wish to.

I think, when I look at it clearly,

I write for me.

To get all the words out. 

To remember who I am.

To uncover my anchors.

To remind me of my passion.

For a moment of creative flow.

And, even when it sucks a little,

I feel better.

Thank you for sharing this moment.

What did you do for you today?
