Solo Mother

be kind

by christina on February 23rd, 2007

So far, no shouting. So far, so good. We’re being kind to each other, as kind as we know how. I’ll tell you, it’s worth it. This visit could have been miserable; instead, it’s bittersweet. I’m grateful.

What I’d forgotten over these months, and what has been driven home to me in a most painful fashion, is to be kind to yourself. I haven’t been taking care of myself and my body has called me outon it. In spades. I’m sick a-bed today, because I didn’t listen to my body and take care of it the way it deserves. Don’t run yourself down. Don’t make yourself the last thing on your list.
