30 Days of Thanks: Self-Care (Day 4)

Butterflies, we’re four days into the “30 Days of Thanks” short post series and today I’m thankful for “me time”. Rhythm and blues singer Heather Headly could probably explain it better but in case you’re not sure what I’m referring to, me time is what ever amount of time you dedicate to taking care of your self or indulging in the things you like. I was once told by an ex-coworker some years ago that it’s impossible to take care of anyone else if you don’t take care of you; years later I fully understand the importance of her message. Being a wife/mom while working full-time and still trying to accomplish your life goals can definitely get overwhelming at times; taking care of your mind, body and soul is the key to being successful at what ever you’re trying to accomplish. To be honest I’ve been feeling really “blah” for the last few months, it’s been a tough task trying to get back to normal since the hurricane. Anyway, I enjoyed a few hours to my self at the spa today; I was able to momentarily clear my mind and just be in the moment. I’m thankful for that.
