My son is sick today, which of course forced me to stop, cancel and cuddle. What a gift! I am drinking hot chocolate, listening to his restful slumber and sitting here in my pjs. And it makes me wonder. Why does *he* have to be sick so I can do this? I think back to what was modelled to me as a child when I was sick. I was deeply cared for and loved during times of illness. But did I witness those self care pieces in my parents? No. When they were ill, they would keep going and push through. There was not a lot of rest that happened around my home. What was your experience around illness as a child? How does that impact how you take care of yourself today? Today, I am making a deep commitment to myself for more rest, deeper love and compassion during those times when I really need it. And I pray that my son will see this modelled, take it into his heart and allow this kind care and compassion for himself, when he needs it the most. A.xo
