One for the books....

As some of you may know I used to work as the Deputy Registrar for the City of Pasadena. I reviewed, registered, and disseminated birth and death records. One day, I received a call from a funeral director who requested that I review and register a death record. He recounted the story told to him by the decedents husband. The wife who hadn't been feeling well for a few days suddenly slumped over on her computer. He called the paramedics, but it was too late. She was gone to meet her maker. However, at the time this happened she was "googling" heart attack symptoms......so I am giving you a link below for a site that I often used when I was studying for the Nosologist certification, which is the study of underlying and final causes of death.

The husband recounted that she had felt badly for a few days but didn't know why and he also stated that when he looked at the google history on her computer she had been researching for days.

She was the kind of person who put others first, who didn't stop, who worked from home and on weekends.

I submit to you that those days when you feel like saying 'no more', 'not today', 'I can't', 'I shouldn't', that you DO. Take time for yourself, get a massage, go for a walk, do something for you alone, even if it is go to the doctor.

It is often said by experts that if you do not take the time to be in good physical and mental health first then you are or will eventually be useless to others, those others that you love and want to be there for the most.

Take this weekend and do something for you and tell us what it was, share how you internalize being a beautiful, kind, loving woman that you surely are. Enjoy and be safe this weekend as you prepare for the next week all rested and or at minimum in a state of peace of mind, so you get back to center quicker when obstacles appear.
