87. Me Time
After I finished hanging pictures I packed my gym bag. Brat Boy asked, “Why don’t you skip your
workout today? It’s getting late.”
I said, “My workout keeps me from playing the martyr, or
resenting the people I love. I put family
first, I do my best at work, but I set aside a little something for me. People who don’t, or can’t, end up bitter,
burned out.”
“Wait, this is you not
burned out and bitter?” Brat Boy said, smirking.
“I could skip the gym and we could clean the garage. That’d
be a good workout.”
“Go to the gym, Dad.
You’ve earned it.”
Today I
will set aside some selfish time.
