Self-Care=Survival

This is worth reminding myself of often.  The amount of guilt that loiters around in the corners of my inner world chastising me for anything perceived self-indulgent is a most challenging opponent to self-worth AND self-care.

The current power outage has brought things into stark relief.  Things I can control and things I cannot.  It's not very pretty but it is revealing.  Light, heat, hot beverages and food, not to mention the luxury of a shower are no longer taken for granted.  And let's not even begin to discuss the intangible things like good humor and patience amidst the discomfort.  KAS
