please place your own mask on first...

Dang, dang, this is so true and nearly everyone will relate to this one Lady. Tight work

I forget the instructions to look after self first too often. We're programmed to consider such thoughts as selfish. I thought I'd better slap a memo in my head as a reminder. Thank you so much, I_IS_ME! 😊

Thank you so much, Tallen. Don't forget...breathe 😊

Taking care of ourselves takes care of everyone else in turn. Lovely write, Willow.

I need to get much better at it. Seems so counter intuitive in my brain. But it isn't, is it? Thank you, Ahavati 😊

Dear WW,

I find no wasted words in this poem. Each has their part to play in describing personal reflection. This piece is very relatable. I enjoyed the metaphor of placing the oxygen mask over yourself before another. It always feels weird to me to care for myself before someone else. Like I’m cheating on a quiz or something. Wonderful piece. H🌷

That's exactly how I feel...like it's cheating or something! Thank you so much, Honoria! 😊
