I love what you guys have added! Youth, sanity, and patience–what could be better reasons to pencil yourself in? I’m following my own advice–I’m up early just to get some personal time in!

Hi Sara,

This reminds me of a saying/story my friends and I use. We all have a cup, and ideally it’s full, but as the day passes, we pour more and more out of our cup, and by days end, it’s sometimes empty, as are we.

By taking time for ourselves, feeling loved and wanted, enjoying moments of silence or reading or whatever, we fill our cup back up. It’s great when it’s over flowing.

With a full cup we’re more patient, more tolerant of mishaps, and more loving.

May your cup always be over flowing.

Hi Sara,
What a marvelous post and a novel idea to give yourself the gift of time. It sounds simple and easy and logical, and it’s something I would never have thought of. Obviously I need to honor myself and practice this.

Thanks for sharing!
Harmony,
Janet
