The Aftermath—Time to be Kind
It's time to be kind—to ourselves Maybe all of us career-driven
24-7 workaholic women are pushing ourselves way, way too hard.
Once upon a time, George Bush Sr.called for a 'kinder, gentler
nation.' Well, I, for one, am ready for a more compassionate
state of the United States right now, right here, and right
away. But what can one woman sitting alone at her keyboard do?
Hmmm. Okay, then, I guess it has to start with me (gulp!),
because I'm seeing that the way I take care of myself truly
affects how I'll take care of and treat you and everyone I come
into contact with. My new kinder and gentler plan means no more
growling and grumping, kicking and stomping (yikes!) when
things don't go exactly my way. It means taking it easy for a
change (huh?), sometimes simply kicking back and letting go. It
means walking a mile in another woman's shoes. All that said,
I'm not chained to this keyboard and, hey, it's the weekend. I
think I'll follow my own sage advice for a change—I'm taking
five and going out for a walk in my own shoes. (To be
continued...)
