Yyyeeesssss! Drinking more water and taking those long walks, in the evening, have immensely changed how I feel, in my body lately! I am loving it.
Wonderful. I am so very pleased to hear this.
Caring for yourself is so important! We often put others first but that needs to change!
Our inclination is to put others first but we cannot pour from an empty cup.
I wish I could care more for myself. I don’t really need to go shopping or vacationing in some fancy place. All I need is to have at least a day away from the kitchen! I feel that there will be a day that I will just drop dead with a spatula in my hand. Even my “me time” becomes “their time.” Ugh. Come January next year, I will put my foot down and demand time for myself.
Eileen, you are clear on what you need and now you need to get it. Protecting that me time will actually show everyone the importance of it. Let’s get you out of that kitchen and with something else in your hand other than a spatula.

Yes, I know. I have visited your blog and you offer some wonderful tips. It is good to hear the different advice in different ways.
Self care is something that I really struggle with. I tend to do everything for everyone else before myself.
So many moms struggle with this. One important call Al is that by no means am I saying put yourself first even before the children’s safety and very basic needs are met. This is about putting yourself first before their wants and desires, not before their needs.
I think people underestimate just how important water is given that we are 90% water we should all be paying more attention to this simple facet of self care. Well done for highlighting!
Thank you very much. Many people do underestimate the absolute importance of water and put it really does for our bodies.
