I’m going to just stop apologizing for not writing on here as often as I should.
Life is busy as usual and when I’m online sometimes the last thing I want to do is write anything.
My “friend” was just telling me this morning I need to really start doing more for me. I’m stretching myself thin working on like 5 different projects and trying to appease people, he even told me to tell him no sometimes (that was a wooowww moment) lol.
I realized I haven’t been doing things that keep me sane like accupuncture, yoga and the gym and yesterday after this AMAZING thai yoga massage I felt so refreshed and I went to my favorite grocery store weg.mans and was like wow I haven’t been in a grocery store in a minute. I’ve been so busy I think I’ve eaten a meal at home five times in the last month and the last time I really cooked I can’t even say. So it’s time to take care of me because my body has been trying to tell me hey you are treating me bad so I’m rejecting you… part of the reason I havent written too is in the last three months I’ve been sick at least a week a month, with the flu, laryngitis and bronchitis.
But I’m better. My goal is to really get back on track with all the things I’ve neglected and sat aside to help others. So I’ve found a new yoga studio to do some classes at a few days a week and now that the weather is warming up I’m about to get back to running outdoors. I also have started filling out forms for another degree (lord help me). After yesterday I’m adding thai massage into my monthly rotation of spa treatments and I’m really going to get back to focusing on taking care of me.
I hope all of you are taking care of yourselves too

Good girl! Me-time is always good time. A thai massage you say? Hummmm… sounds pretty interesting.
Did you decide to do the PhD yet? I’m excited!

Yes, by all means, make sure you stop for the me-time. I know I just get frazzled when I don’t have that. You gotta take care of you!
Your idea about going to the CBT sounds great. I need to get all my alumni news letters forwarded to me out here. They’re all sent to my address in Chicago, so I’m sure it’s at home. I’ll get more info, but that should be a good time.

Hey CB!
The “me time” thing has to be at the top of the list. But you are good at taking care of you and encouraging others so enjoy it.
You have no idea how you inspire people by just saying you are going back to school again or that you are working on something new, we love it.
