You're Someone's Only Hope.

There’s lots of apps on mindfulness.
People pay money to be reminded
to stay mindful.

Some apps help you
breathe deeply.
I’m a fan of breathing too.

Consider this post a written reminder:
You’re someone’s only hope.
I don’t know who that person is.
And they may not be up for telling you.

There’s probably a lot of people
that are really counting on you.
I’m not talking about whatever project
you have going on.

I mean you the person.
In their lives.
Friend or not.
Related or not.

It’s great to look out for yourself.
And make sure your time is properly watched.

But every so often
like say,
before you go to sleep every night,
try to think of who is counting on you.

Because when tomorrow comes,
There can be so many things going on,
it can be easy to lose track.

But the stakes are high.
If you really saw how many people
are counting on you,
it might be scary.

Now if you get overwhelmed,
do you have someone you can go to?
Isn’t that a great feeling?
You see how this works? :)

That helps me pay close attention.
So I’m writing this for the both of us.

Who needs you
at your best right now?
Are you returning people's calls?
Are you too busy to add that to your plate?
They have an app for that….:)
