Yesterday I took off my faded, chipped nail polish and gave myself a mini manicure. Today I treated myself to a visit to the hairdresser. Because I had taken care of my fingernails yesterday, I was able to accept the offer of a free hand massage while I was at the hairdresser  Tomorrow I will do a quick home pedicure, hopefully making the transition from hobbit to regular person. |

Nice Jendela , nice.
I do think that keeping a list of acts of kindness helps us fight squalor because we start to feel and believe we deserve to be surrounded by beauty and be beautiful , inside and out.

Hi def6 , cleanbee, laurataylor , hollyhock ,jendale, back from Christmas break.
I am treating myself with kindness. We got sideswiped on Christmas eve and I took meds for the pain for a week but they wreaked my stomach. The person who hit us took off but I got their plate number so they got a nice surprise when they got home.
So I started a water fast last night and am starting to feel better. I am allowed to do it for a few days with doctor approval.
So my kindness is to tell myself bad days happen, getting behind happens, I woke up feeling bad but better this morning.

Dit, I can relate to getting behind because I'm having to begin again ATM. I'm so glad you are alright! Thank you for talking about your healthy eating lifestyle…I'm trying to learn it all now.
I treated myself to a visit to the dermatologist …everything is a ok.

Hi Dit and def6. So glad you are okay after the sideswipe. Are you off the pain meds now? How is your car? Good going on getting the plate number! I hope your water fast goes okay. And giving yourself forgiveness for getting behind is a great thing to do for yourself. Def6, good going on getting a clean bill of health from the dermatologist. That too is very special. I'm working daily right now to live healthier. I have added to my list of dailies to take vitamins, exercise, eat a fruit a day, and add more veggies to my lunch by eating soup or salad. I'm very bad about getting in fruits and veggies because many irritate my IBS, but right now I will eat better and deal with the consequences as they arise. I'm also working on drinking more water. This is a whole year project - to take better care of me - and this is the part I have added daily. |

Dit Sorry about hte sideswipe incident. Good thing you got the plate number! I like all of hte ways people are treating themselves more kindly. Sometimes I feel like I am my only fan..... Taking care of ourselves puts such a smile on our face and a bounce in our step - it can;t help but be contagious.

I'm going to the dentist today with $400 in hand to see what they can do about an infected root that flares up and gets very painful on and off. I'm hoping they can remove the root and save the tooth, which already has a crown.
I was given some money for Christmas to get this done, but spent half of it on less-emergent dental work for DD. She always comes first! But now there's more money, and now I'm going to take care of ME.

Det6 As for healthly lifestyle I try, I also sometimes fail... Here is the thing that been working for me. 2 cup glass pyrex bowls crockpot lunchables warmer love them , they warm from frozen in a few hours to piping hot , the food taste fresh ) Filling the bowls to make one meal per bowl and now being able to use up all my left overs. Stacking and storing them in the freezer for my bad days or lunch for work. So all I have to do now is run hot water over the bowl or zap for one mine and pop in the lunchable crock I love it because I don't care if we all eat the same thing , its like free takeout Hollyhock , thanks for asking , I have switched to Tylenol , have an apt with the doctor tomorrow. I am better. ohblondie HEY... Where is your act of kindness to yourself?....you can't just appreciate it you have to be kind to yourself, so come on I will root for you just start talking.... Good for you Larataylor on the teeth... good for you. |

OK...>Act of kindness for myself.....I went to that acoustic jam on sunday and saw several longtime friends. We sang and listened to some awesome music. A wide variety. There werre some true traditional bluegrass players and some blues and spiritual and on and on. I hope we can go next month as well.
Act of kindness - today is a struggle....I dont know if that small bag of popato chips counts! Ithink I will have a cup of tea tonight- that should count......I obviously need to work on this a little more!!

Ohblondie - Taking time to enjoy life and see old friends counts ( in fact it is fantastic )
An act of kindness does not have to be everyday.
The mindset is more important. I deserve to be happy with happy moments in my life, I deserve a good life.

I have slept nearly all day. I woke up at 2:30, bundled up on the couch and slept till 8:30. I fixed breakfast and started putting clothes on to go to property to chop ice. On the way back, I stopped by the grocery store and bought oranges, oatmeal, margarine and milk. I came home, ate a sandwich and two oranges and slept all afternoon. My arms and shoulders are sore and I've felt bad all day. Now I'm going to make a nice hot supper and play with some quilt pieces.

Hi All
I have treated myself with kindness for the past few months. It seems the car accident I was in cause some minor brain damage and affected my balance, I had been unconsciously compensating and did not know till I went to physio therapy, so when the poor physio therapist just touched the nerve on the base of my skull I started to have seizure on his table and they did not go away. So I been drugged up and sleeping since they stared me on the meds. Now that they have reduced the dosage I am back to try again.
