Knowing what you Want!!

How can one be happy if one doesn't know what she wants? I have spent many years taking care of others, which is a wonderful service. However, one must always take care of themselves as well. I seem to have forgotten this little detail. You may ask, why is this so important. Think of the last time you traveled by plane. When the flight attendant speaks to the passengers at the beginning of the flight, she instructs the passengers on emergency procedures. One of those instructions are to place the oxygen mask on your own face first before helping others you are traveling with. We must realize that in order to lift others we must be on higher ground so to speak. If we are not taking enough time to fulfill our own needs, eventually we may not be of help to our love ones either. We must be well in a whole sense. We need to take time for our physical bodies as well as mental, emotional, etc... This is hard, as I struggle with it often, myself. Others are not usually going to freely give you opportunities to do this, many times you will need to be strong, not greedy, just strong. We need to remember ourselves as a person with dreams, needs and wants too. We really need to take some time to keep these alive and in turn, keep ourselves alive and complete. These things make us better people, better wives and better mothers. Find some time today and start taking care of someone special, someone like YOU!
