Note To Self

I have thinking about this a lot lately and its comes to this. Sometimes when we are dealing with illness in our lives. I m not the best writer but this what I have come up with.
Deep in my heart and its really heart felt at times. I'm a giver no doubt about it.
I always want to help others. Then I realize I have obligations to myself.
I suppose when I see others not reciprocating when I need help then its unhealthy.

So for me its a hard. Its taken me a really long time to get that there is a huge difference between being selfish and self care. Its realizing it and putting in to action is becoming so much easier.

Self care in the realm of cancer is a must. Even if your a caregiver and have cancer as well, you cannot help anyone if you don't take care of you.

So to day I have Post It on my computer that says *Care for Self*
