What’s a worthy life? A life that you can say is enjoyable and fulfilling? For me, it requires choices. I look at many people I know and listen to them complain about their spouse or job, and I wonder who is in charge of their life.
Working long days can be exhausting, and I prefer lounging in my pajamas all day. Who wouldn’t? I love binge-watching a television series, too, but that’s my dark side. The better part of me keeps coming back to things I love as well as being complete. We need work, rest, and fun. For me, my mind needs to reset, recalibrate, and slow itself.

If I sound a little down, it’s okay, I’ll take a nap and be fine. Sundays are good for that. This week I must take care of myself first, as in, put on my oxygen mask first. Yeah, I have to remember this because it’s essential. More important than jobs, money, houses, cars, spouses or even other people.
