I AM WORTHY

If you want it,
just get it for yourself.
My wife says this to me
all the time,
because I rarely
buy anything that
is just for me.
I am worthy of
treating myself to
something every once in a while
like an everything bagel
with lox and Temptee cream cheese.
or getting my hair done
or sleeping in
or buyins some seafood
or new socks.
I am worthy of
rewarding myself for
the hard work that I do.
Those treats do not need
to cost much,
they just need to be
something I desire,
something I would not
normally do for myself.
These gifts are vital to my well being.
They are me paying me
for what I have accomplished.
They are those special moments
where I say I love you to myself
and remind myself
I am worthy.
