So. This was meant to
be a monthly blog. I already missed one: February. And February was Turner’s Syndrome Awareness
month. Talk about dropping the ball….
But things got away from me as they sometimes do. Among other things, last weekend I did a book
signing event again with satisfying results for Short Chick with Glasses: life
beyond Turners Syndome (shameless plug number 10)
I also participated with other warriors in lobby day at the
state capitol. It was my first time, and
for those of you that have never done it: wear good shoes. It was a long day of walking throughout the
capitol to meet with state senators and representatives or their staff to
encourage them to support or oppose certain pieces of legislation being
considered this session. When it was
finally time to get back in the van and head home, one of the organizers
pointedly asked “what are your plans for self-care tonight?”
And now I ask you:
In this world that seems to have gone insane: what are you
doing to make sure you get the care you need?
Are you making plans like I am to unplug and detach the rest of the
night? Did you reach for water or tea
instead of a soda? Finally going to make
that appointment for that physical first thing Monday morning?
Whatever you do in the way of self-care, make sure you do
plenty of it. You are needed in this
insane world. And you are needed
healthy, whole, and ready to fight for whatever cause you care so deeply about
that you sometimes lose yourself in it….
