After reading Debra’s blog I got to thinking,(this is usually a mistake on my part).   I don’t think of myself as a lazy person, I do my chores and run a household pretty well.  I get the things that need to be done taken care of before I go play.  That’s not a lazy person.  Why then when it comes to myself, will I neglect the very things I know are good for me and that I would be better off if I did them?  I can’t blame my husband, he encourages me to get more exercise and loose the extra pounds I need to loose.  I have plenty of time.  The only reason I can come up with is I’m too lazy to take care of myself.  I’d have a fit if my husband did what I do, I’m after my daughter all the time to take care of herself.   So I can’t say I don’t know what needs to be done.  So it’s hard, well life is hard, I need to get over it and stand up for me.  No one else can do this for me, if I don’t start working at this thing harder, nothings going to happen for me.   Ok, I’m pushing the reset button and getting on with the rest of my plan.  I’m 10 pounds lighter and that’s good, now I need to get up and start working on the other 40.  I’m worth the effort, I plan on living to at least 90, it’ll be a lot better if my knees don’t give out on me!  So I’ve got my DVD and my resistance bands and I’m getting off my butt and back to work.  I’M WORTH THE EFFORT. 

Women come in all shapes, size and colors. 

They’ll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you

to show how much they care about you.

The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning

They bring joy, hope and love.

They have compassion and ideas.

They give moral support to thier family and friends.

Women have vital things to say and everything to give.                                     

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

Seems like these words  fit a lot of the women here on this site.   We take time  for and care for everyone, but neglect ourselves and our feelings.  Putting them aside or tuning them out, somehow we have the idea that as wives, moms, caretakers, that it’s “bad” to take a little time for  ourselves.   So I’m declaring Friday Feb. 20th “the day for you”.  Plan something fun and relaxing, be kind to yourself and cut yourself a little slack.  Nothing is perfect, so be nice to yourself and enjoy the day!  Don’t forget your own WORTH!
