Me Time!!

I really enjoyed all the wonderful things that you guy did for YOU on Saturday!! For myself I put on a  fresh coat of this beautiful sparkly purple nail polish on my toes!! Then I treated myself to a warm brownie with chocolate frosting! In the evening I sat down in a comfy chair in the screened in porch and read a magazine while sipping some fresh brewed iced tea!

It's interesting seeing what others view as doing something "special" for themselves...things like reading a book, gardening, having lunch with someone special, working on a project...all those sound wonderful because as you each were telling what you did, it wasn't as much what you did its the fact that it was brought to your attention that "me time" is important to us and we all must really not loose sight of that. Maybe sure to always remind yourself of this because getting some "me time" is the best way to care for yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally.

 Remember that all the time spent nursing yourself will enrich and strengthen your time and your relationships with others. That is the secret to great human happiness, and once you start, you will set your self on a path that will lead to places of great beauty and contentment!!

Take care of yourself!!  When you’re feeling happy and full of energy, taking care of yourself isn’t a problem. But on those days when you feel like crawling beneath the bed and never emerging again, you still must take care of yourself. Obviously you can’t eat a healthy diet every day, and you can’t go to the gym and work out for two hours a day every day. But you can do what you can do, and if you miss a day here or there, or eat a horribly unhealthy meal now and then, the world won’t stop turning. Don’t kick yourself about your shortcomings; just acknowledge them, vow to make changes where you can, and move on. Tending to your mental and emotional health is just as important as taking care of yourself physically.  
 
Take today to hug yourself...not just from me (cause I do love you all)....but hug yourself from YOU because without YOU, nothing else in your life matters.
