Memorial Day is a time to remember those we lost in war. We mainly focus on those we lost physically, but let us not forget those we lost who may have returned physically , but not mentally the same. Many received loved ones home who "look" like themselves, but are mentally and emotionally strangers. Many suffer from PTSD, anxiety, depression and other stress related disorders. Let us not forget these Veterans and their loved ones who are grieving the loss of their former selves and trying to reclaim all that was taken from them due to war. God bless our military and their families ALWAYS!♡♡♡

One of the hardest things to do at times is practicing what you preach/teach. I can sit across from someone and listen to them list obligation after obligation, without one mention of what they do for THEM. No mention of what they do to refuel, relax, unwind, etc. No self care, but lots of caring for others. I would often say, "You need to take care of you! If you don't take care of yourself, you can not effectively take care of others in the long run." I would get the same response time after time, "There is not enough time".

I totally get it and now I am in the place where I need to practice what I teach. This means saying no sometimes. I cannot be everywhere and do everything. It is just not possible. We are not human "doings". We are human beings. Sometimes we just need to take some time out for self to stop doing and just be.

I remember when bubble baths, quietly reading a book or just taking a little walk around the neighborhood while praying, singing or meditating on nature was a regular routine. With three little ones, I had to learn to create a new norm for "quiet" time. Parents know that the bathroom is no longer private when you have two three year olds and an 11 month old. They follow you EVERYWHERE!! I have to get a little creative at times, but it is possible!

Set aside some time for just you this week. Your mind, body and spirit will thank you!! We can do it!
