Heeding the Warning

"There comes a time when self-care is no longer optional - it's a necessity. After that it becomes involuntary. Your body will shut you down.”  - Brene Brown, author, blogger, all around smarty pants and dear friend

Trying to take better care of myself these days. Slowing down. Eating. Unplugging. Tuning into my body. Breathing. Stretching. Quieting my mind. Getting (and staying) grounded. My heart and soul have been begging me for this kind of attention. It's about time I listen.

we must treat ourselves with tender care
and always remember how fragile we are.
I love you beyond measure.... your mom

Everything we're begging for is attention. Nothing else will do. How rare and precious is the noticing.

It's great that you have somebody who can tell you that. And even better that you can listen.

Good for you. I had to learn the hard way with an onset of migraines where I had never suffered from them before. Brene Brown knows of which she speaks.

That I should listen to this...would be wise.

Hugs and good health, sweet friend.
