Relationships - with God, self, family, friends
Relationships with others can be a very important part of self-care, but not to the detriment of your relationship with God and with yourself. I know that I have trouble remembering this sometimes, but it's something I'm working on because it's so crucial to my self-care.

I'm on day 31 of a migraine. I just wanted you to know how encouraging your blog is. Truly encouraging. I'm also from Oklahoma, so I thought that was a neat coincidence. God bless!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear that you're dealing with such a long migraine attack. I truly hope that you find some relief soon.
DeleteThank you so very much for your kind words about my blog. I'm so thankful that you've found encouragement here. And, I appreciate you sharing that you feel encouraged by it... it encourages me to keep writing, so thank you!
I'm not really from Oklahoma, I'm from Texas. I was in Oklahoma for 2 years, but my husband and I are back in Texas (and so happy). But, we're still pretty close to you, and that's pretty cool.
Blessings!
