Welcome To Me Time…

"We need quiet time to examine our lives openly and honestly … spending quiet time alone gives your mind an opportunity to renew itself and create order."

~Susan L. Taylor

Parents of special needs children are brilliant caregivers — except when it comes to caring for themselves. When was the last time you left your house for a quiet walk? Had a solitary cup of coffee or tea? Browsed through a bookstore by yourself? Sat alone in the park and enjoyed the silence?

If you're like me, finding times like these are a challenge. So why don't we take on that challenge together?

Make some time to do something BY YOURSELF that matters to you — take in a concert, paint a picture, walk in the rain — anything so long as it doesn't involve catering to the needs of anyone else, then meet me here on the second Friday of each month to share about your "Me Time" moment.

Sound like a plan?

Good. See you here on second Fridays!

Note: Me Time has been changed from it's previous meme format to a standard article format.

On the second Friday of every month, Michelle will share a Me Time moment here at 5MFSN. To share a Me Time moment of your own simply:

• Tell us about your Me Time moment in the comments section following Michelle's post. You can even put up a post on your blog sharing about your Me Time moment for the month and leave a link to your post in the comments section, if you like!
