How many times have you been told it's selfish to think about yourself before others? If you are like me, I'm sure it's in the hundreds if not thousands. I was raised on the thought of helping others and leaving yourself till last. But I'm learning a new way of thinking. I have learned when I think of myself more often and do what is best for me, in turn helps me to be in a better position to help others.
How many times have you rushed around doing errands and not feed the body that is serving you. We all do it. We leave the house with no food in our stomachs, skip lunch to pick up dry cleaning. Then before we know it, it's three o'clock in the afternoon and we have a headache, frazzled nerves with a screaming fit coming on by the time we pick the kids up at school.
How much better for you, had it have been a short breakfast and a sit down lunch, even if it was a simple fast food feast from the dollar menu? Your children or date would have a smiling human picking them up, instead of someone who's about to ruin their day.
Take the few extra minutes to care about yourself. It will give you the energy to help others with a smile and in the long run get you where you want to be in your life.

The Message of Your Love
What is your Messages of Love?
Do you pat people on the backs, put an arm around their shoulders, tenderly stroke their cheeks or play with their hair, while you are speaking to them?
Do you say I love you often, even when fighting? While this may sound romantic, it's also a sign of insecurity in your relationship. Let your pardoner know you love them in other ways, not only verbally. Hugging is a great connector. There is no substitute for a warm, loving embrace.
Do you talk without saying a word? Wink or smiles are ways of letting each other know you are thinking of them. Some couples even have a secret wave or words, to stay connected in public gathering.
Do you write notes, leaving them where your love can find them? Letting your pardoner know you are thinking of them when you are apart.
All of these are wonderful ways to show and reinforce your love for each other.
….Words are mere bubbles of water, but deeds are drops of gold……A Chinese Proverb…

Just Because!
I found this piece in 1998-99, shortly after going through my divorce. It has always been a great help for me, I hope you enjoy it. It was written by Bishop T. D. Jakes.
Just Because!
Just because no one has been fortunate enough to realize what a gold mine you are, doesn't mean you shine any less.
Just because no one has been smart enough to figure out that you can't be topped, doesn't stop you from being the best,
Just because no one has come along to share your life, doesn't mean that day isn't coming,
Just because no one has made this race worth while, doesn't give you permission to stop running,
Just because no one has realized how much of a person you are, doesn't mean they can affect your femininity or masculinity,
Just because no one has come to take the loneliness away, doesn't mean you have to settle for a lower quality,
Just because no one has shown up who can love you on your level, doesn't mean you have to sink to theirs,
Just because you deserve the very best there is, doesn't mean that life is always fair,
Just because God is still preparing your "One", doesn't mean that you are not ready,
Just because your situation doesn't seem to be progressing right now, doesn't mean you need to change a thing,
Keep shining,
Keep running,
Keep hoping,
Keep praying,
Keep being exactly what you are already....
COMPLETE!
