10 Minutes a Day

It's been a challenging couple of years of my personal life. I was a caregiver for my mother, who had advanced dementia. However, she passed away a year ago now. I truly miss her, but I don't miss the woman she was at the end of her life. Seeing a family member lose themself is truly a horrible experience it's like watching a train wreck that you can't stop. Plus, I am solo parent too. I started not taking care of myself and I finally recently realized I need to take care of myself too because I am affecting my young daughter's life too. I have started counseling and I am just taking 10 minutes out of my day to focus on breathing and finding a little calm in my life. Life is a journey and it's not always smooth. I am coming to accept that.
