Self Care




I’m getting back 

Into my groove. 

I always think of my return

From Bewitching Peddler’s 

As the beginning of

My new year.

I work on a business plan;

Looks and goals.

I jot down self challenges

Because to me…

One should feel a little 

Uncertain

And out of their comfort zone, 

In what they do.

In it all, 

I am very aware

That this coming year will

Be full of physical challenges as well.

I need to take them seriously.

I am truly walking 

With a keener awareness

Of my body

And how it works.


 


What does it look for me..
How do I have less stress?
Working in clay,
 has been where I 
Find a soothing comfort
and also
It has been a voice.
I love 
The ability to work in Halloween 
Year round…
Besides an occasional 
Dunkin’ Ice coffee, I’m set…


A creative person,
Must allow for creativity
In their life
For balance
So how does that
Work for someone that
Works in that nearly every day?
I’m going to find that out
By enjoying creativity
For play.

I’m also dearly enjoying
my wee rescue,
 Maggie.

As you can see…she is a silly girl.
She is my constant companion,
Except when there are kids around.

There are things like,
Better rest
And keeping more 
Fresh and Whole Foods.
And next week,
I make plans for tendon repair…
That will sideline me a bit.


It will certainly be different…
And I’m sure
You will see differences in my work
As I try some new things…

I will certainly keep
My heart in Halloween, Salem
….and Mourning.
Halloween is in my heart and home,
Year around.
It is always present on my work table.

But now I ask…
what do you do
For your self care?
