Sometimes you need the wisdom of your dogs. They went outside and sat on the sunny porch and gave me sad eyes when I turned to go in the house, so I caved and sat with them for a bit…and for the FIRST time all day, I’m finally warm from my fingers to toes.

It’s taken a while to get to this point, and yes, I still need the reminder BUT I’ve come to learn that it is ESSENTIAL to do what is RIGHT FOR YOU above all else. Listen and trust your gut. Make changes sooner than later. Don’t let the naysayers or guilt stand in the way.
