yourself when you need

@Lindsays Grandma OH......today was REALLY bad. I had a "confrontation" with a shirt-tail relative......who thought they were going to inherit my HOUSE. (What nerve!) I politely informed this person that it was going to be sold and the proceeds were going to CHARITY. And my lawyer has everything in writing........... di

@Desertdi Oh OH, legal problems, the worst. I hope you aren't talking about the house you live in. In any case, sounds like you pretty much have it in order, hope the shirt-tail relative got the message loud and clear.

@Lindsays Grandma Oh YES.....the house I live in. And I was told to "fix it up" so this relative wouldn't have to "take care of it"........Grrrrrrrr.....

@Lindsays Grandma I had to take several self-care days and tuned everything else out recently, due to the spanking my soul took from Covid "overload".😁

I was mentally, and physically EXHAUSTED! It was the "jumpstart " my "battery" needed during this Covid mania, and not a moment too soon.😊

@Lindsays Grandma

So true. I believe our bodies will always tell us when It needs help, a break or rest.

@SandySparkles ...People have to learn to read the signals their bodies are telling them. There comes a time when all of us have to shut down, back off, and take care of ourselves. Between a stressful job and stress from some family members I decided a long time ago they were not going to get the better of me, my health and well being comes first, thank you.

Now there is the awful Covid that is to be dealt with. I'm glad you took some time to heal yourself. There is no way one person can take care of everyone around them and it's foolish to try. No one is going to take care of us if we get sick because of taking care of them, SO, take care of yourself first, and that is not being selfish, it's being smart.

@Lindsays Grandma It is eerie how poignant your words were! Several of my family members who are essential frontline workers, had been sick with COVID the past few weeks. That is what I eluded to in my previous post.😞

I became ill, and was diagnosed Sept. 2nd, as it was next to impossible to care for them without being exposed; all possible precautions were exercised. I have never slept, and coughed so much in my LIFE.😐

I am SO happy to have taken a few self care days BEFORE falling ill. Things would undoubtedly have been worse, had I not. Thankfully, I am on the mend, but remain burdened with low energy.

We are counting our many blessings, as so many others have not been as fortunate, and it breaks my heart💔. Now more than ever, I am praying a vaccine is soon to be forthcoming. 🙏🙏

@SandySparkles ...There are a few posters I can count on seeing everytime I submit my so called words of wisdom, you are one of them. So, when I don't see one or two is when I worry. You my friend, are a very caring and kind woman, it comes through loud and clear. However, I get the feeling, and correct me if I am wrong, that you have the tendency to overdo and take on more than you should.

One thing I wish you would remember and that is to take care of yourself FIRST. You can't help anyone when you become ill because of your kindness. I repeat myself...that is not being selfish, it is being smart. Okay, I will get off my soap box, I am happy you are feeling better and now make sure to get plenty of rest and YOU FIRST.

@Lindsays Grandma Your instinct is spot on! My mother always tells me I sometimes" bite off more than I can chew", and I sheepishly admit to doing just that.😊 Age has not been kind to her, and she is forgetful of many things, but pointing out my shortcomings is not one of them. 😁

I read one of your quotes today that pertained to balance, and could not agree more with it.😊

Your comforting and compassionate words made my soul smile, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart!❤😄
