Far too often we forget that taking care of ourselves is as important as taking care of our loved ones.

We forget that if we aren’t happy, healthy, mentally or physically, or at ease with ourselves, we aren’t there for others.

“Self care: any activity that we do deliberately in order to take care of our mental, emotional, and physical health.”

A day out with friends or alone to do whatever you want. Do it!

A few hours in a library. If you crave it why deny yourself the pleasure of it?

A trip to a coffee shop to just people watch for a while.

Time alone in your garden, work room, she or he shed.

Don’t forget you.
