Forget Me Not

 Are you one of those people that forgets me? I mean, you. Seriously, I’m not trying to confuse you. Actually, that’s me. I forget myself.

I’m passionate about what I do and the connections in my life. As a wife and mom, I forget to take care of myself. I’m running, looking out for my family. As an author, I’m writing, looking out for my readers. As a coach, I’m guiding, looking out for my writers.

It’s never work, because I love it! However, in keeping so busy, I forget me. I forget to make my smoothie, take my vitamins, make appointments, or make personal confessions.

I thought this through having lunch with myself one day. I stared at my work desk, full of notes and post-its. They were all over my phone, too. I’ve written so many reminders.

OK, why haven’t I written a note-to-self? I’ll tell you why. I’m too trusting of myself. I sincerely believe I’ll remember me tomorrow. It’s a deceiving thought. Tomorrow comes, but once again, I’ve forgotten me. I understand that my routine is overly structured. This is good to a certain extent. I get my writing and other assignments completed, however, I’ve left no window open for me.

I’ve found an easy fix to get some fresh air. I’m putting a note to myself on my laptop. Will this method work? I’m certainly hoping it will. I’ll make a note-to-self to remind me to keep you posted.

Grace and Peace,
