I agree with Harper.
- You have earned the right to piss-off anyone you want.
- You have the right to a bathroom stall not only sufficiently separated from all others at work, but in a different building from the guy who eats his burrito in the next stall!
I further officially grant you the following 10 rights and privileges.
- You are allowed say “No” to people who ask you to take on another task and mean it.
- You can join the “Half-Fast Life Club”. Take more time to take care of yourself.
- Frenetic is no longer descriptive of your day. You can allow your mind to begin processing (a task it was intended to do, but was not given the time for) everything stored over the years. When your life pace is where it needs to be, your mind will write stories and come up with great ideas while you are sleeping.
- Time is now enjoyed by the moment, not by the calendar schedule.
- You can make a cake from scratch. No matter what you think your cake (brownies, scones, (Fire Cake) or whatever you finally call it) looks or tastes like when its done, it will be wonderful from the love you put into making it.
- The “baking/cooking from scratch” secret (which is important to reduce stress) passed down to me by my grandmother is simple. Comments questioning your “creation” as “unique” or “different” are dismissed with, “Its a traditional family recipe!”
- “Wisdom comes with age.”
- You can now say what you want irregardless of what anyone else thinks!
- Enjoy your Birthday!
- Was there was supposed to 10 of these?
