Now

This--
this is my time
to do what I want,
for me.

Now, what I do must be for me.
Not selfish, but self full, self benefit, self fulfilling.
Meeting my needs;
achieving my goals.

Still giving to others, helping, alongside, hand in hand.
“Being the change you want to see in the world,”
As Gandhi said.
And sometimes change in yourself
comes from putting yourself first, doing work on yourself
first.

Now is the time--
my time.
Moving ahead, one step at a
time.
