“You Can’t Pour From an Empty Cup”

Sage advice from a friend and young colleague showing wisdom beyond her years. “Remember to take time for  yourself too — you can’t pour from an empty cup!”

I plead guilty to not having taken care of myself these past few weeks. As I brace to be a caregiver, I realize that I can’t take care of anyone else, if I don’t take care of myself. 

The truth is, that this is not about me. That would sound selfish and self absorbed. However, I do have to ensure that my cup is full, so I can give it everything I have…..

Time to fill that cup!
