Five Basic Needs,
which have become so difficult with two small children around that they FEEL like luxuries.
1. Eating when I’m hungry. Drinking enough water.
2. Going to the bathroom whenever I want. With the door open. Alone.
3. Phoning family. Giving attention only to the phone call.
4. Going to sleep when I’m merely tired. Getting up when I no longer am.
5. Drinking coffee WHILE IT’S STILL HOT! Freely eating a biscotti, or strudel, or toaster pastry.
