Well I missed my Sunday reflection but I think it is necessary to reflect even if it is Monday. On Labor Day weekend my husband dropped some very heavy wood on his foot and has had to be off of it ever since. It will eventually get better and life will get back to normal but it really has made me realize even more how important being in good shape is whether you are the caregiver or the person needing extra help. I did not eat well last week. The only good thing about that is I now realize how much of a difference this makes in how I feel. Yesterday I had no energy left to do anything but today is a new day and a new week and so I am going to the store to replenish the refrigerator with only good and good for us food. In the past I would have beat myself up over how poorly I ate for a week, Now I realize everyday is a new day which gives me the opportunity to start over and that is what I plan to do. So although this week I will still be called on as caregiver, I am going to do my very best to spread that care to include myself so that I will have the energy to do what needs to be done for everyone.
