Meditation Practice

I'd be a terrible person without it.  Twenty minutes
every day and practicing mindfulness during
as much of my waking life as possible helps me
like nothing else ever has.  I have more patience,
more ease.  I'm better able to respond
instead of just reacting.  The  more I meditate
and practice mindfulness the more I love my life. 
So why don't I always do it?  What  thwarts me? 
It's hard to say to my family, "yes,  I know you're hungry,
but I need twenty minutes just to sit here."   
Clearly I need to practice.  Breathing in, breathing out...
