Caregivers – Care for Yourselves

Kaye from SandwichINK left a comment at my Happy New Year’s post about setting goals that I thought would interest my caregiver readers.

Great goals. It’s so easy to get into such a routine and not stop to think through and be proactive at taking these kind of steps. On top of that, many feel guilty for doing something for themselves. But we are re-energized and recharged and able to bless those we love more when we take these steps.

I especially like Kaye’s insight about our being able “to bless those we love more” when we take care of ourselves.  We’re more patient, more loving, more able to laugh and enjoy, more thoughtful, more caring…when we’ve gained rest and inspiration ourselves.
