Jan 2012

I need to do more "self care" activities.
Seriously contemplating a massage and pedicure.
Seldom do I take time away from caring for my family and fur people;
I think it is because I feel a need to over compensate for my condition.
While I know they appreciate what I do for them, I think they would like to see
me do more things for myself.
I'm working on it.
The anxiety thing is still a challenge for me.
Once I GET UP and GO- I usually feel okay fairly quickly-
It's just STARTING that has been hard lately.
