I have a headache that is throbbing in my forehead. I am not a frequent headache sufferer unless I have brought it upon myself by eating way too much sugar! As I learn more about peri-menopause, I see that this may be a feature of my life for the next few years as I transition out of child-bearing years. My body is just doing what it needs to do. It feels like I am facing the day with a deficit in my emotional abilities to navigate today in the way that puts my best self at the forefront. A throbbing head makes me feel less patient and sensitive to what others and I may require. I guess that is where caring comes in today. Just because I am experiencing some pain is not an excuse to renege on being gentle and considerate to all things placed in my care. It will take extra effort and awareness not to react without fore thought or tender attention. I am reminded that I cannot barrel my way through life today intent on accomplishing the many things on my to do list. It is sign that another road must traveled... the slower on. The direction is the same but the pace is altered. If I will not care for myself I will be most neglectful of the care of others. I tend to be indifferent to those matters which concern myself, a bad habit I picked up in childhood. I will be taking time today to express some of that love inwardly.
