A Bit of Wisdom

Keeping it short and sweet today, my friends and readers.

I’ve learned enough from my 35 years of caregiving to know when I’m about to “hit the wall”, or when I have indeed hit it.  I think I’m really close today.

Have been feeling “under the weather” for a couple of days now; but I just keep pushing anyway, ignoring what the body and mind are saying.  (I’m shaking my head at myself – because I know better!)

Today I did some housecleaning, put up loads of Christmas decorations, did some research for some future topics to post here, and worked a little on this website.

After all that, I could feel I was taking a nose-dive; so I took a 45-minute nap which I thought would perk me up enough to go at it again, full-speed ahead.  Nope!  Not happening.

And since I’ve mentioned self-care in many of my posts here, I think it is time to put some of that into practice before I have no other choice.

I will take it easy tonight – maybe listen to some Christmas music (I love Pentatonix Christmas CD’s, plus I have yet to listen to Handel’s “Messiah” this year). Maybe I’ll do a little light reading – no more research for today.  And I must make sure to eat some dinner since I somehow forgot lunch.

Tomorrow’s another day; and I hope to have some writing for you which pertains to caregiving, finish my Christmas decorating, and maybe even make my favorite holiday snack of Chex Mix!

Tonight I will follow to my own words of advice and practice some quiet, restful self-care.  Sounds not only peaceful, but healthy and wise as well.

Have an enjoyable, peaceful evening, and I will see you back here tomorrow!
