Self-care, self-love

 

 My fiance got me a new lens for my camera for my birthday and this weekend was the first time I really got to see what it could do.  It's really lovely.  Sometimes I forgot I was zoomed in really tight on something and actually jumped back because I thought an animal was coming at me.  Never said I was so bright!  Clearly this is a peacock but it was taken at the Cape May County Zoo which was visited this weekend with my soon to be in-laws.

I am taking a class right now - Your Courageous Year and I am really loving it.  I am loving what I am learning, particularly about myself.  I am also loving the dreaming I am doing about my own e-courses and what I want them to look like.  The focus of this portion of the class is self-care and that's something I have never been particularly good at doing.  I'm great at taking care of everyone else but not so much myself.  I have a lot of demons that I hold on to...from childhood, from middle school, from college and from the last few years.  It's time to purge those and surround myself with the things that make me feel good and happy. It's time to put away things that serve me no purpose other than pain.  Pain is just not good and life is too short to sit with it for too long.
