It's quiet here in the house. But my head is full of noise. No, I am not hearing the kind of voices that need Mental Health attention. They are the kind that are just my thoughts running amok. Honestly I think most women have these kinds of voices.Did I turn off the coffee pot?
Did I forget to pay the cable?
I know we need to save more money, but how?
Then there are all the requests from your family.
Honey, Can you.... Mom, where is my...... Why can you?......

How can you pour into other peoples cups when your cup is empty? This is a question that I was asked not all that long ago. The answer is mainly simple......you can't. But yet we do it every day
My goal is to spend 15 minutes a day on simple self care. This could be a cup of coffee while sitting somewhere quiet, working on my 15 minute devotionals, or listening to a pod cast. It completely depends on my mood that day.
