I'm feeling sick with a sore throat and ear pain. I'm feeling the usual anxieties and stresses returning to their "normal" for me levels since coming back from a vacation. I'm feeling grateful for my vacation. I'm feeling a little anxious and a little eager to get to the doctor's appointment for this afternoon that I had to make this morning.
Like a sponge, involuntarily, yet readily and steadily soaking up the tsunami of ALL the feelings of ALL the beings.
Hands too full to be able to toss out life jackets, feet too tired to run, head too full to sort priorities, and heart too full reach for the therapeutic tool box.
*Whew* Breathe.......be......let self come back to me.....rinse and repeat.
I'm feeling relief after going to the doctor. It turns out I have a really bad ear infection. Now I'm going to try to ignore the temptation of old messages telling me to suck it up. Pamper me. It's ok to pamper me? Even after I just had a vacation? Yes. This is self care. Self care is mandatory. If I don't care for myself who will? I like the idea that self care is mandatory and not optional. I'm going to have to remind myself of that all the time.
