I Give Myself Permission To...

• Take the time for neat penmanship...or not.
• Drink soda if it helps my mood.
• Be ambivalent but still try.
• Work on my blogs...or not.
• Miss my friend...even if I just saw him.
• Let my writing be quirky or magical.
• Reveal too much of who I am.
• Love certain songs absurdly.
• Take time to pay off debt.
• Wear shorts and not check the mirror.
• Complain about my situation.
• Read beyond my goals.
• Read slowly--a few poems, a couple of chapters...
• Re-watch Disney movies.
• Use color as I wish.
• Go to the library regularly, even if I don't read everything I check out.
• Play with makeup, even the dark colors.
• Protect my theatre season tickets despite the expense because they are important to my future mental health.
• Wear my favorite work clothes without occasion...or work.
• Use all my art supplies. Quit saving them!
• Be more open...whatever that means in the moment.
