Love Yourself
Remember
the post about walking vs. driving? So today was day 2 of walking for a
delivery, 27 long agonizing minutes there with NO BREAK FOR CARROT CAKE
I might add and 29 minutes walking back.
Yes
the beauty was lovely, tall grasses filling the fields, all browning
edges throwing themselves together like a deranged quilt. The leaves
are bright red and just about ¾ of the way off the trees, cars are
covered in bright red crinkled up maple leaves. When you walk on the
sides of the streets you can be 6 inches in leaves and they crunch when
you walk. Although at this age I worry about spiders laying in wait and
happy to pounce on your legs, or tics, I forgot about tics. Ok, enough
of the leaf walking.
But the
point is (and you knew there had to be a point to this didn’t you:)), I
made the time to take care of myself today by walking. I didn’t want
to, I didn’t have time and I didn’t want to. But sitting here an hour
later I am happy to have made the effort. So what if we took the time
to love ourselves a little more? Like when you’re ready to fly in a
plane and the airline lady says “in the case of emergency, put the face
mask on YOURSELF first, before you help someone else”. What if we took
care of ourselves first before we took care of everyone? Anne Lamott is
a great writer to follow if you don’t already. She always talks about
rubbing lemon lotion onto her jiggly thighs and practicing self-love.
