If there is one thing we folks with chronic/rare diseases do well it’s self care. Sometimes it’s been the only kind of care we had.
I like making lists of self care things that work. In part because when I need them, my brain is usually not capable of recalling them, in part because I want them available when others are in need.
So perhaps a small break from the agitating and soap box standing, and a little something inspiring to share.
Wandering the magazine section of Big Box Bookstore yesterday, looking for inspiration and information on how to not fail miserably at being a Mom to school aged kids, I came across this magazine called Artful Blogger.
Of course it piqued my interest, since I’m not artful, and I’m most assuredly a neophyte blogger.
I read this fantastic article, and a portion of a blog post that really hit home for me. I have this raging perfectionist streak, and with the cognitive issues, I’m even more stubborn than usual (which is saying something).
It’s a principle in theory I live by, but in practice…. sometimes I stumble a bit. I’m eternally grateful for the reminder, so artfully written. 
It’s the entry for Feb. 18th. Go read it. It’s well worth the time.
