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?
