I'm practicing patience. I'm practicing kindness. I'm practicing acceptance. All these things are things I need to practice giving to myself. I find that I don't care for me the way I care for everyone around me. Even more, I act more lovingly toward strangers than I do toward myself!
Today I'm committing to doing the things that make me happy, healthy, and strong. I'm going to choose nutritious food (like I do for Mason), I'm going to go to the gym and enjoy my workout (not worrying about the other things I should be doing), and I'm going to do one project that is on my list of things I want to do. For just today, I'm practicing making me a priority. Wish me luck, patience, kindness, and acceptance. I wish all and more for you, too!
About Me
- Kathy
- Living the dream! I am your normal, 50-something woman, happily married with one son, Mason, age 15, and two dogs, Spencer & Gunner. I am a writer, artist, Realtor, inventor, and photographer, among many other things. My husband, Dave, is a longtime member of the CA Army National Guard. Being the wife of a soldier has its own challenges, but nothing I don't welcome when the exchange is our freedom. As a family, we do our best to make the most of every day. I truly live the way I encourage others to live, and I think our life is richer for it!

Good for you! I, too, am guilty of showing more love to others than I do to myself at times. Society seems to glorify those who do without, but I don't think that one can be effective in loving others without some amount of love for one's self. I mean, the Bible says that even Jesus had to have some "me time." And if he can do it, I think its ok for the rest of us to do so as well!
