Putting the oxygen mask on yourself first, so you can then tend to those around you. Good advice even when we aren't on an airplane. ;o)waning lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16155097793329305703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1708429237978897840.post-40819489721299743592012-03-06T07:30:57.801-05:002012-03-06T07:30:57.801-05:00Self-nurturing, small rewards and time.

I am so happy you were missed and appreciated when you returned. It is not easy for them to understand what we are going through, as we try so hard to make sure they do not realize that things are as difficult as they are. <br />I hope this respite gives you strength and also courage to continue to put one foot in front of the other.Cherylhttp://www.acoastalpointofview.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1708429237978897840.post-42430739698371824982012-03-04T09:22:31.290-05:002012-03-04T09:22:31.290-05:00You believe it because it is true.

I hope that when my time comes I can be half as patient as you.<br />Welcome home.
