Starting Fresh & New


Welcome
2010

I have been thinking this past week
about
New Year Resolutions.....

How many of Us make them & fall short
within a few days, weeks or months.....

instead of a Resolution that I Never
stick to, I have chosen a Word to Live By....

"Nourish"

For My Body, Mind & Spirit

Just so this does'nt seem too Self indulgent,
let me tell you why I came up with this
particular Word

I'm a Caregiver anyway you look at it,
by Profession & by Heart....

I really would give My very last Anything to Anyone
and still be wishing I could give More, I guess, Not a Bad thing .....

For So Long, My Kids (who are all Grown & Live
on their own) have been wanting Me to do
More for Myself, But Most of All ~ Take Better Care of Myself~

"Nourish"

To be totally Honest, for many reasons ~
I Have Not taken very good care of Myself for a Long Time

I may be a Good Mom & Bubbie
but, I am Not a Very Good Friend
to
Myself~

"Nourish"

I decided with My Head & My Heart,
that I need to start taking care of ME ~

Being sick before Thanksgiving, Really Made Me Think ~

Life is Short & Oh, So Precious....

So for 2010

I am going to take the Time to Shop & Cook Healthy Food,
Time for Exercise, Time for Life & Leisure
& Extra Time for Creating.....

"Nourish"

How can We Help Others, if We don't first Take Care of
Ourselves

Self Indulgent, Maybe ~ Needed, Indeed!

"Nourish"

So Wishing All of You a Very
Happy New Year
&
Please take the Time to
Nourish Your Life ~

  2. I could not agree more friend! I posted about similar problem I have in this particular area. This year, lets's both, take better care of ourselves; and as I said PUT OURSELVES FIRST ON OUR TO DO LIST!

    Blessings to you in this New Year,
