A bubble bath sounds nice. (public domain photo) |
You know, even the most dedicated,
holistically minded, natural guru caregivers in the world get sick of
leaving themselves in the dust from time to time. I should know. So,
even though I have a houseful of grand-kids, I quit. Oh, right. Ya,
it's that easy. Ha ha ha. No, it's not. However, what I can do or
rather, what I have done, is to change my position on the long list
of people I take care of.
Oh, ya, I'm at the top now.
In fact, I'm downright selfish
sometimes. Hey, don't judge. I spent a lot of years being selfless. I
went to catholic school. Which, for those of you that haven't had the
pleasure, is a sort of forced saturation in being ashamed of yourself
for no particular reason other than your own imperfect humanity. It
pretty much set the stage for the early stages of my life.
So, now that I'm no longer afraid of
going to hell (and my kids are grown) there's no reason why I can't
think about myself a little, is there? I think it's time for a little
pampering, don't you?
Me too.
I'm really into this whole vegan thing.
Don't worry, I have another blog for that. I won't bring it up too
much. OK, maybe I will, but I'll try not to nauseate you with it.
However, mostly, I'll just be posting about self care, in
particularly, natural self care. Because that's what I'm into. It's
all connected, you know?
If you're into it too, give me a
follow. I may not be this entertaining every day, but I'll give it
shot. Plus, I still have this caregiver persona thing lurking in the
background. It dies hard. So, I figure, I can at least help someone
else with the same issues to help themselves.
But, of course, only by helping myself
first. Like, maybe I'll be soaking in a bubble bath at the time or
slathering coconut oil all over my feet or something equally self
indulgent. No, really. I will. I'm number one now, after all.
Ya, it dies hard.
