3 THINGS WE WOMEN DID TO NUTURE OURSELVES THIS WEEK
« on: April 17, 2008, 01:26:03 pm »
LADIES, While reading on poz, I ran across an article with a woman speaker saying how we women , need to do 3 THINGS a week to nurture ourselves. I thought this would be a good topic. It could be anything you do to make yourself better, or feel better, it can be something you did for someone else, but it must be something positve. I know the week isn't yet over,but I will start:

1. This week I crocheted a gift for someone.
2. I cut down on my alcohol intake (lol)
3. I decided not to voice my opinion,at any time, to my best friend, about her no good man. (in other words mind my own business).

Well, hmmm.  This is hard for women, isn't it.  Let me see:

1. I bought some new underwear.
2. I super-cleaned my apartment.
3. I did my laundry today.

Good idea, Netta!

1.  I did some volunteer work.
2.  Shaved my legs  :-\
3.  Went to see my therapist.

Oh I love daisies. I'm not perticular about what color or type. Daisies are my favorite.
Gerbera, blackeyed susans, sunflowers, shasta, crown all sorts of them. They are all beautiful.

I prefer wild flowers to roses.

2. I started reading the diary of Anne Frank again.

I gotta think some more about what #3 could be.
