The sounds terrible, Meagan. I know how hard it is to stay still and I’m sorry you had to miss the rest of the festivities. I appreciate your meditations on stewardship and taking care of oneself.
Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear about your fall. I wish you a smooth recovery.
Additionally, I love what you're talking about here. I've been thinking a lot lately about what I've been calling REAL self-care—the kind that nourishes and supports you. And one thing I've found in my own life is that REAL self-care is preventative. The more time I can give to myself before the you-know-what hits the fan, the better I am for it.
I was just listening to a podcast in which someone discussed how boredom is a doorway to creativity. Perhaps during this time, you'll find some creative silver linings. <3
Yes- REAL self care isn’t always about bubble baths, though those are wonderful :)
I was just thinking about how limits can lead to creativity. I’ve definitely found more and more creative ways to get around and get tasks done in the last few days.
Hah! I twisted my ankle a few years back and it has set in motion a complete 360 of my stewardship. It forced me to slow down and I can still feel this ankle sometimes now reminding me not to rush and overdo.
Welcome to the sprained ankle club! It’s quite a ride!
How do I revoke my club membership!? Seriously though, I am trying (not always succeeding) to see these reminders to slow down as useful and helpful...certainly it's teaching me that I don't have to always be the one to do everything. :)
Well, there are quite some interesting benefits in this club I must say. 🥳
Oh and you are absolutely not the one who should be doing everything. I always like superlatives like always and everything because it never is always and everything, is it? Can you drill it down to what you think you should definitely NOT be doing?
I'm actually focusing more on just one-two things I absolutely DO want to do, and leaving the rest for later, or for someone else. And to be fair, my family is super helpful - my husband is picking up a lot of the slack and Clara is happy to jump in to help with anything I ask. All the "shoulds" are on me - totally a matter of misplaced pride. Working on it!

True! I’m glad you’re working it out.
Oh gosh. I’m so sorry this happened to you. Blessings as you heal and ponder being a steward of your health, among other things.
Thank you! ❤️
