Today's Reflection

I get a massage almost every week no matter where I am, eat a healthy diet, schedule time alone, and if I get to a point where I feel I need a block of time...I'll cancel.
-- Anne Wilson Schaef

Do we love and care for our body as well as we love and care for our home and car? Do we feel our body deserves full attention and a loving maintenance plan?

Taking our body for granted is easy because of its remarkable durability and regenerative power. We may get lulled into a false sense of "nine lives" body security, believing our physical being will fix itself no matter what.

Self-care takes time and priority planning to be successful. We may find we put off our exercise and nutritional needs saying, "Tomorrow I'll start taking better care of myself." But sooner or later tomorrow comes, and our body produces symptoms that demand attention.

Learning to love and nurture our body brings rewards without measure. We deserve to reap the benefits starting today.

Today let me realize that respect for my body builds a healing temple in which the rest of my life can grow.


My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . .  It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . .  Laureen

Good Morning Laureen, Haven't had more than a minute or two since arriving in St. Louis. Just wanted to say hi. My body is screaming "hot tub" and we'll be in a motel Thursday and Friday in Springfield, MO with one. Hope life is treating you well and that home is once again your peaceful refuge in this crazy world! Hugs,

Karen C

Karen,

I was just thinking of you this morning, wondering how you are doing, glad you popped your head in to say hi enjoy your trip and the hot tub. . .

Hugs, L
