Have you every needed an alone place to go to for awhile...to regroup. I think we all have. Some of us get more time to go there than others and some don't get enough, till we lose something...
I seem to carry the pressures of everyone around me, whether I know them or not. I see joy and it lifts me... most of the time....sometimes I feel envy. I see the pain and weariness and my heart becomes heavy. I am not super human, this much I know....so why do I feel as if I should be? Because I am a doer.
We seem to lose sight of taking care of ourselves first, then others. When I feel strong inside and out...I can take on "one.. more.. thing". I can offer a hand to some else. I can see clearly for someone who can't. I can touch the heart of someone in need. Share a simple smile. I can live by example for all those who watch me. I can do my part and a little more to make a difference. When I have neglected my own needs and feelings... I crash....
The hardest part is starting again...not over, but again...
I find myself wondering how I got here...again, but here I am.
I feel blessed to understand that as long as I keep starting again..........I will win....and so will those around me.
