“Don’t just be good to others. Be good to yourself too.”
February has been a weird month. In fact, this whole year has been kind of strange so far. I was excited about the Kindness Week planned for Pics and Posts two weeks ago, but the “strangeness” caused me to drop the ball.
I needed all the energy to get through the days of über long meetings and random oddities. I’m coming to terms with reality—even if I can make the time, I sometimes don’t have the “vim and vigor” for anything extra.
That is the kindness I am learning to extend to myself. I’m no longer pushing myself past E(mpty) and operating on fumes. I deserve more and my loved ones deserve better.
And so do you.
Go out and do your good deeds, but remember the ultimate kindness is often to yourself. Be kind to you!
About the Image: Today’s sunflowers are from the water-color sunflower diva, Sheila D! She surprised me with these beauties about a year ago. They have been brightening up my planner, but I figure it’s time to share them with the world.

Good for you, Chandra. You deserve a rest! You do more than any five people I know! Yes, just because you can, doesn’t always mean you should. We need to find a way to honor ourselves, take care of our spirits, and without the guild society says we should feel. xoxo
