I like your idea of sorting things into energy-giving and energy-draining. That’s such a nice way to see things, and takes away the guilt too!

In the end, family is everything, so your time and energy will be well spent. I miss family more than anything. When James died, his family was blown to bits. So very sad. That was never more poignant for me than the 4th of July. We always had family out, homemade ice cream and had a great time visiting with one another. Strange how life as we know it can disappear in a blink.

XOXOXO,
Brenda

Lani, you do need to take care of your health and recover and I love the idea of putting things in two categories – energy draining and energy lifting.

Summer is a time to gather energy, from the sun, from your family, from whatever warms you. Take that time for yourself and regroup. Big hugs.

Oh, Lani, this posting so resonates with me! I’m 11 years out and trying to keep some sort of equilibrium. I have also made a list of energy-drainers and energy-givers.

You come first. Take the time to rest and be easy on yourself. Sometimes our own expectations are our own worst enemy.

Very poignant posting.
