May 3, 2020, it is Day 3 in the Self Love Challenge and the daily prompt is - List 3 Ways You Will Show Self Love TodayThis is actually very hard for me to do. Especially when it's for myself. But here it goes...
One of the things I did today for
self-love was rest. I have been extremely sick for
the last two months with Environment Asthma, RSV, and COVID 19. Although I am
feeling much better, I still have the cough, the wheezing, and get extremely
tired with little to no exertion.
My daughter and her family (husband
and newborn son) have been staying with us for the last two days because their
air conditioner went out at their house. Although they have had it looked at,
it continues not to cool things down to their liking. With the newborn baby,
they cannot be in the house when it is showing 83 degrees inside and over 90
degrees outside. According to the technician, the motor went out. They are
hoping to have it up and running again in the next day or two.
With the kids and the two grand fur
babies here, I have been able to play with my grandson. He has changed so much
since the last time I was around him at two weeks old the latter part of February. He is cooing a great
deal now and has found his hands. I enjoy sitting on the couch and watching him play with his toys and cooing at Nonnie (that's me)!
Another thing I did today for
self-love was having some quiet time. The kids got out for a little
bit while their son was sleeping, and I took advantage of that time too. I was
able to self-reflect on life and things going on around me. It is amazing how
much peace one can feel when they are at peace within themselves. I can just BE!
The last thing I did for self-love
today was to wear a new shirt. I cannot remember the last time I
bought myself a new shirt. The color of the shirt is not the norm for me, it
was Coral. I like it!!!
Self-love is a must anymore in my
world. Whether it is getting in my car and taking a drive out in the country or crafting with the music
playing in the background. There are so many things I do for self-love.
The house is quiet now. Everyone has turned in for the evening and I'm sitting in my craft room catching up on a few things. I'm listening to Leslie Phillips on Pandora, "Strength of My Life". The last time I played this song was in the early '90s. It is off of her album, "Dancing with Danger", 1984.
This particular song resonates with me on so many levels... in this very moment, I'm having a moment full of tears. It comes after a conversation my family had earlier this evening.
I just don't understand how people can be so cold, unforgiving and judgemental. Especially those we call family...
I just need to breathe, give thanks to my Heavenly Father, and know that everything is in His hands...
Self-love doesn't come easy for me, but I try.

Beautiful picture in the post and I will have to look up this song and the Artist as I hadn't heard of them. I hope your feeling better and remember you don't have to deal with negativity. You can remove people and that is something I am working on.
