<p><em>For the queen bee, and also everyone else</em></p>

<p><strong>You have a lot of priorities to juggle.</strong> You do what you can, you assign degrees of urgency based on trying to find some kind of balance between what you want and need and what the people who depend on you—your family, your friends, your co-workers, your boss, your clients—want and need. And with a little luck, you get all of the most critically important things taken care of on any given day. Or maybe you don’t, but at least you get to them the same week. Or maybe you don’t, but you do what you can do, and it has to be enough…right?</p>
<blockquote><p>
And while you’re working on all of that, <b>be sure to take care of yourself</b>. Like <a href="http://mwkworks.com/desiderata.html" target="_blank">the man said</a>, “Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.” Get some rest, drink plenty of fluids. Stay out of the hot sun. Let someone take care of <em>you</em> for a while.
