I started a document of the "Care and Keeping of ME", thank you for sharing this. I've been pretty well, but having a very sprained foot set me back more than I would have guessed it would and I always forget what I need when overwhelmed by pain in my spine.

I read today that Care is a circle; sometimes we receive, and sometimes we give it. So, asking for it is part of that circle. I loved it.

I was just discussing this with a friend recently—asking for what one needs, one wants, taking up space, not making oneself feeling small. It's even in my latest newsletter. Timely story. Glad you're moving forward in your self-advocacy journey!

I've also made a how-to-take-care-of-me list/collection of lists. So helpful, truly.

Also, thank you for sharing the story about Gaiman. Horrifying, I cried. But it's necessary to know these things so as to not support the wrong people.

Lol. The story of the screens will stay with me. Sending healing thoughts to your husband, and hoping for peace, encouragement and rest for both of you.
