I'm having a massage tomorrow morning. I am really excited. It is starting to sink in that I need to take care of myself. Make a genuine effort to pamper and treasure myself. Treat myself the way I treat my friends. So, one massage a month isn't too much, I don't think.
It is really weird to think about taking care of myself in terms of self-loving. But it really is. When I take care of myself I feel better--when I feel better I have more to give to others around me. Usually, this is something I connect with thoughts of motherhood. I mother my students. Probably am more of a mother than some of their birth mothers. And the more I take care of myself, the more I can give to them.
And the stress release will be heavenly. It's going to be a challenging month. It'll be great when reaccreditation is through. We can put the hoops down and stop jumping. Well... we should be able to.
I hope the storm has calmed down enough that after my massage I can still meet AY for lunch at Slopes. Our monthly lunch date. I love talking to her, she's an amazing person.
Here's to a great tomorrow.
