What are the ways you love πŸ’• yourself and others? What do you do when you need to recharge? We need to fill ourselves up with love πŸ’• so we can give πŸ’• love.

One of my favs is going into nature.

For years, I ran on "empty" in trying to save the world only to find out it doesn't work unless we take care of ourselves first. For me, it's Meditation on YouTube. I refocus my energies to a quiet spot I can call my own and breathe, giving both my mind and my body a respite.

Thank you Starrlight for reminding us to take that moment each day to love ourselves. :) xx

Wishing you love....

Wishing you love too. I looked up Quiet Mind Cafe last night and it was nice for mind and body.

These are nice things

I love to make people smile, it feels so nice...I feel good and they feel good...I love to give surprises, and do nice things that people enjoy , because I may have previously heard them say they liked something...

These would be special people as they would still be in my life ...only the special ones remain 😊 πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•

I like to attend mass at church. I find the quiet and being part of the community lifts my mood. No one asks if I have a job. They treat me like an equal.
