Dec. 12 – Self-Care (Giving yourself a gift)!

I don’t think anybody is reading my blog…and that’s okay, because It’s more for me.  Journaling online is a form of self-care. So, that said, I decided to write something personal today.  Giving gifts has always been my thing. I used to love getting gifts for my husband and everyone in his family.  I would take a tremendous amount of care in selecting and wrapping.  I would sit on the floor in the living room and spread out everything around me.  I would make a whole thing of it – candles/music/hot toddy.  So, now that I’m alone (and feeling sorry for myself) – what did I do this morning – lights/music/coffee – and I wrapped a gift for my ex.  I also wrote him a letter.  Some would say I’m wallowing, but whatever…I feel better…cathartic.  It was a gift to myself…deciding not to give up on my rituals.  Next…standing in line at the post office.
