Wow. I never thought about it like that either. I'm great at taking care of my family's needs, but horrible at taking care of myself. But, if I think about self-care as a gift I give to both myself and my family, I could definitely be motivated. Thank you for the perspective!

There's a reason we're always told to put our own oxygen masks on first, but we seldom listen. Thanks for the reminder!

Happy Valentine's Day and thank you for the reminder. I think I'll go find some of the hearts with little messages on them :)

‘February 14 seemed as perfect a day as any to do something to take care of my first love.’

Yeah, I feel the same way. Valentine’s Day shouldn’t necessarily be only about giving love to others, but to ourselves as well.

I really identify with this entire post. Wishing us both more self care (self regard?) this year.
