Two months ago the unexpected happened. My life was turned
upside down, inside out. It meant a time, away from my business and blog, spent
with family and a friend in need. Sometimes living, being a part of this thing
called life, necessitates that we stretch leaps and bounds and place ourselves
on a limb committed to others health and well-being. I’m thankful that I was
found willing and able to be there.
If you’re a caregiver, you know that taking care of others
can be both rewarding and stressful. Today, with our incomes stretched to the
max, being there for those in need is an important family value which sometimes
extends beyond the family boundary to friends as well. It’s during these times
that taking care of yourself is important.
Part of taking care of myself means doing things that bring enjoyment while providing stress relief, like photography,
crochet, needlework, sewing, and even cleaning. There’s something about
creating or doing things that bring immediate results and make you feel good.
Cleaning a clean, fresh space. Crochet, an algorithm of stitch types that yield
a beautiful pattern. You get the idea.
Enjoy!
