I enjoy hearing from our readers. It's hard to overcome guilty feelings caused by the thought of being selfish. As a child, it was ingrained in me to think of everybody else first.Hmmm... but does that mean every waking moment of everyday? A question I've asked plenty of times. LOL... usually right before I was about to fall on my face from exhaustion. Have a great day! Hi AmyDeanne,

(I know it's not, but it feels that way, and some of us than go over board and feel neglected b/c we didn't get any, etc.) Anyhow, Good points, and good reminder!

Thanks for commenting. I understand what you mean when you say if your not frazzled you feel like you haven't done enough. LOL... I have felt the same way. Sometimes I've even though I must have forgotten to do something. Have a great day! Hi Jennifer #2,

Both of mine always burned the candle at both ends and as an adult, I struggle with slowing down. If I'm not frazzled, I often feel like I'm not doing enough.

The name implies that we are thinking only of ourselves. I feel much more comfortable taking prayer time (after all that is what Jesus did) or honoring the Sabath (this is again dictated in the Bible) or merely taking time to enjoy my gifts from God. I'm not sure why thinking about it this way is more paltable to me but for some reason it is. Jennifer Hi Sherry-
