Me Time. That seems like a funny thing for a person who lives alone, and is retired, to need. Isn't all her time 'me time?' Well, in one way, it is. But most days I am doing a lot of things that "must be done." Once in a great while I will mark a day on the calendar to do just exactly what I want to do--"me time." Sometimes it turns out that what I most want to do is my laundry, and in between sit in my chair with my dogs on my lap. That's mostly what I did on my recent 'me day.' Other days I let myself go to the gym and spend as much time as I want working out, followed by a nice session at Starbucks. And some days, of course, it is quilting from morning until night. Sometimes I let myself start a brand new project or just play with fabric and colors without feeling guilty about the myriad of unfinished projects waiting in the wings.

I know that most of you quilters have lots of responsibilities and wear many hats. But try to take a little 'me time' now and again. It does wonders for your soul. The people closest to you will thank you for the new and improved you.
