As a therapist, I cannot begin to tell you the frequency with which I use airplane pre-flight instructions to illustrate the need for self-care. I am sure that you remember the flight attendant saying something like… “If you are flying with small children or others who may need assistance, please place your own oxygen mask…
I read a post on a social media site that said something like: year 2013 , day one of 365. It brought several things to mind. First, the obvious, today is the first day of a new year. However, it also brought to mind the idea that today does not have to be perfect. It…

(Warning: skip the part on the thoracentesis procedure if you are squeamish) If you have followed my blog, you know that my recovery from what doctors appear to call triple A surgery (Ascending Aortic Aneurysm) has been rocky. Energy levels have been low and pain high. I also seemed to have a wheeze over the…
The mania and obsessive-compulsiveness hit over the weekend. I got an amazing number of things done. In fact, I did everything I intended to do and still had time to watch some television and go out for an anniversary dinner. Yesterday morning I continued to feel pretty wired.
