My daughter told me today when we were exercising that I was really good at comforting others and talking them off ledges, but can't do it for myself.(I had just try to reassure her about a problem she was having) It made me think......and I'm still thinking about it.

I am a good listener and am able to comfort people, but tend to not be able to do the same for myself. So I understand but I am not sure what to do about it. Let me know if you think of anything. (I'll do the same).

I understand. I think I am better at trying to help others than I am at helping myself. I need to be good to myself and so do you. You are a very caring and comforting person-take time to care for yourself, you deserve it!!:0)

Thanks, ladies...I decided earlier today that I need a spa day.I have gift cert that my daughters gave me for Xmas and I haven't used it.Why? I don't knowwwww...but I made an appt. for a 60 min. aromatherapy massage and a hot stone pedicure.Now I can hardly wait for Monday!
I think that every time I do something nice for someone else, like encourage them with words,I will make a silent promise to do something nice for myself.Simple things that I can do Immediately, like listen to my favorite music,close the door and read a magazine,say a prayer of thanks, ya know? I think that will help keep me calm and my mind off negative things.
Thanks for understanding...be sure to take care of YOU, too!(I'll be checkin' in to make sure you do!)
