“Be there for others,
but never leave yourself behind”.
We have all done this!
We’ve been so busy helping other people
and ‘being there for them’,
that we have completely forgotten
about ourselves and
our personal needs.
Don’t get me wrong,
it is very commendable
to always be thinking of ways
to help our loved ones,
and to ‘put these into practice’.
It is also a good example
for the younger generation
to follow.
However,
all of this will be of no use
if you are ‘on your last legs’,
with no food in the fridge
and you still haven’t done your own washing.
These are very practical things
that need doing,
and with good planning,
can be achieved.
Your friends and loved ones
want to see you happy and healthy,
so never forget
about your personal needs.
LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
