I'm so glad you decided to put yourself first, or (at least in my selfish mind), I wouldn't have gained a fabulous new friend! :)Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136948771014366470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5585163300713472368.post-81510230476175211242012-01-25T09:41:57.053-08:002012-01-25T09:41:57.053-08:00Great post.

I know that I've had times over the last year that I felt guilty about being selfish...I work out at night twice a week so that's 2 nights that I leave my husband and kids to fend for themselves for dinner...oh no, they might starve (NOT)!! I finally had a long talk with myself and basically just told myself to get over it...they aren't complaining so why should I make myself crazy over it? Besides, like you pointed out, they are getting a much healthier and happier mom/wife out of this!vickydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15461568169152483129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5585163300713472368.post-37638136166737251922012-01-25T07:40:37.023-08:002012-01-25T07:40:37.023-08:00Beautifully put!

We must take care of ourselves first to be able to take care of others. <br />Clue the emergency announcement before every flight: when the oxygen masks are deployed you MUST put yourself on first, before you can help your child (or fellow passengers). Makes sense: if you fall into unconsciousness, who's there to help them?Kriszhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02385673009221828014noreply@blogger.com
