Last night on my local PBS channel there was a series of programs on women's health. I also got a message from a cousin, about another cousin who is having serious consequences from diabetes.
This was more scary than helpful, but there was one woman in one of the programs who talked about taking better care of herself, of cutting back on stress, and approaching exercise in baby steps. It reminded me of a friend who used to tell me to take exquisite care of myself, and treat myself like I was own best friend.
Taking exquisite care of oneself means not overdoing it. Choosing the best (food, activity, people to hang out with). Sleeping well, eating well, dressing well, moving well. Taking the time it takes, or maybe some extra time to do things for my own good, in my own best interest.
In this overlong winter, with too many late storms and grey cold days, it is good to think about being good to yourself.
