It’s been a long week and I continue to always be hard on myself especially as a mom. My daughter is almost 14 months and is cruising around everywhere. She had her first fever and has been fussy and up all night. Teeth are coming in and we think there might be some separation anxiety - YIKES!
I also learned of news that two women who are apart of my First Descents Tribe received news that their cancer is back, in full force and the time they have with us is becoming less. They are fighters and will always be, but my heart is very heavy for them and their families. We take a lot on and fill our plates until they start to tip. We have to remember to take time for ourselves and ask for help. I always say “I got this”, carrying loads in and out of my life (and up and down the stairs) saying I don’t need help, but this week I needed help. Thanks to those who listened and let me cry on their shoulders.
You have the strength to do it, but when the tears start to form remember to slow down, take it one step at a time and ask for help! I need to remind myself every day to do this. Let’s do it together!
