Make yourself a priority

Welcome to Poppy’s Blog

I am feeling better today, and my energy level is back.  I have a busy day with errands in town and some year end reconciliation stuff.  Later, I will pick up Sophia and head over to my hairdresser.  I see my hairdresser once a month and I love her.  We catch up on all the gossip and new hairstyles and our family.We went to school together.When I get my hair done it makes me fee attractive and confident. As a little girl I watched my mother wash her face with Noxzema and she sometimes used cold cream, then brushed her shiny black hair that was so healthy, she did this daily before bedtime.  My mother was a very feminine lady.  She looked amazing everyday and wore lipstick chasing the cows, feeding the chickens and taking the animals to auction. She wear jeans once in a while with her boots and also wore polyester pants with an elastic waistband.  Us girls wore the same pants.

My first encounter with jeans was when I got married.  My husband John bought me a pair of dittos. I wore them every so often, but I liked my house dresses more.  As of today, the jeans I did have went to goodwill.  I only wear comfortable not constricting clothes.  When you get to a certain age, comfort is where its at.  I bet there are some comfortable jeans out there, but I won’t bother because I don’t care for jeans.  Dresses are more my style because I am such a girly girl.

Let’s talk about self-care.  We are all running around like chickens with their heads cut off.  Ah, that sounds so harsh.  But think about it.  We have stressful jobs, families, consumed by this so called technology or just too plain busy.  Me-time is usually the last on the agenda.  We always put the needs of others before ourselves.  Believe me it does not work.  Help yourself first.  If you find you have more energy go ahead and help others.  Make sure to get plenty of sleep, stretch or exercise, keep yourself hydrated and eat healthy.  Pick up a book and read, knit, crochet, sing, dance or maybe share Poppy’s blog. 😊 

Thank you for taking the time to stop by and visit. Have a wonderful day and don’t forget to do something for yourself today!
