“Nobody Loves You Like Your Momma Loves You, but who’s loving your Mama?”

You are so good at taking care of everyone & everything- but who’s taking care of you? Making sure everyone’s needs are tended to with loving efficiency can feel like a burden after a while. You are on call 24/7 and you can be counted on all the time but that’s the problem. You need a break and would like nothing more than to get away for a bit. Mentally take a break from having to manage everything & everyone. It can be too much at times and all you desire is a little peace & calm. Is it too much to ask for time to regroup & collect your thoughts and recharge? Heck no. “Mom” yourself for a change. Listen to your instincts when you need a time out. Take advantage of an invitation that offers a bit of welcomed fun. A perfectly timed & spontaneous opportunity to get dressed up - maybe take in a show, listen to a band & have a cocktail. Look for a chance to act like a kid again- careless, free & loose.  Shelve those responsibilities for a bit. You need time to rejuvenate. Let others tend to their own needs (which they are quite capable of doing) while you take a well-deserved break. It’s not being overindulgent but necessary.
