Journaling: What does it mean to be ME? I feel like I’ve forgotten lately. I spend so much time doing things for the other people in my house, that I don’t take time for myself. It feels selfish to focus on me. It feels like I’m slacking or not doing enough. But, it’s important. Because when I don’t take time for myself, I end up grumpy. I end up frustrated. I end up wanting to throw or smash things. I have to remember that my needs matter too. I am strong enough to make it through this period of time. But, I must give myself grace and refill my soul, or I will not make it through. At least, not the me I am. A shell of me, but not me. I need to take time for myself. I need to fill my own bucket so I don’t run dry. Because a dry bucket can’t help others.

This really speaks to my heart right now. It's a wonderful layout. I think it will influence my final layout for MOC11. Great job, Courtney.

Beautiful page my dear! It's a wrong understanding among women, that we need to be everything doer at home and for our families, or we'd be named selfish or failure. I've understood that selfish is trying to make that other do and think as we want, last year I took a seminary in Psychology and our teacher said "Selfishness doesn't consist of taking time to cover your own needs, and looking after yourself first before others, thinking first I must be fine, so those around me will be also fine, taking time for myself so I can provide them with quality time. True egoism is asking others to live as one wishes to live, and forcing them to think as we think. Selfishness is lacking of respect and tolerance". Well I don't pretend to write all what I learned on the seminary, but that came to my mind. I really love your page my dear
