Put yourself first

Now that is a statement. I am afraid that so many of us do not do this. I know that for many years, I was last. Life was in the way. Even though, I am basically a single woman now on my own..me does not always service first. The real FACT is we should take care of ourselves first in order to be of help to others. Sooner or later the old "burn out" is going to happen. I know so many others things happen; however MAKE the time. Believe it or not the other people in your life will appreciate what you are doing. Share what you are trying with the other members of you family and social unit. Being busy for the sake of being busy is really counter productive. Value: your emotional and physical health Schedule fun activities-laugh Try to do some combining of activities with fun and exercise Don't try to change every problem at once-going slowly will help you and others adjust to what you are trying One of the hardest things I have learned is "NO". Please believe that you do not have to the one who does everything at home, at work, or in your social life. Try to keep the balance.

Value of Time

Are your days busy with worry, stress, work and complaints? For my 2011 resolutions, I am going to try and limit this part of my life. Good luck right!! While in the midst of this life that is yours, we often realize to late that TIME is very valuable. Your life really is just a blink of an eye. Why don't we all try to stop and be present in your life. Enjoy the small moments-a cup of tea, reading talking to friends, doing a hand project...."whatever might make you happy". Try to time manage better but do not obsess. Stop being a procrastinator and enjoy! This is only life that God has given us. No matter what your problems may be, enjoy a little of it.

It's Friday

Thought I would leave you guys with a thought for the weekend, in case I do not get back on-line. This is a HAPPY thought, for me anyway.
Time: so good and so bad. To much, not enough. Americans seem all to consumed with TIME.
Let us think about this and try to enjoy TIME this weekend and some fun. Your life really is a BLINK in the sceam of things. Make the time to be in your life. Enjoy a moment, call a friend. Be with friends and family. Even just enjoying a cup of tea. Read a newspaper. I think the key to this might be to STOP procrastinatin and just do. I think I plan to much and then get very upset when things do not get accomplished. There is the ole saying .."never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.."
So let all try this for weekend and see if we can enjoy time and maybe even have a feeling of fullment.
