Hi there,

Thanks so much to everyone for this thread and the wonderful insights. It's amazing, I was just telling someone a short time ago that we need to look after ourselves, and then I thought that we are good at saying this to others, then tend to ignore it for ourselves. For me, anyway, I guess I need to practice what I preach (as the old saying goes!!).

Dear Hobbit,



If tHere wasn't forums like this one or an explanation of what it means to 'take care of myself.' What this means I guess is different for everyone

Hi justanother47yr,

Exactly! And that's why forums such as these are so beneficial for everyone. Thanks so much for your contributions!

THanks Hobbit,


Did you know 'taking are of yourself, that set of four words can mean different for all ?

[Hobbit]

Yes, we are all so individual....it's what makes life so interesting, frustrating, enjoyable, irritating, happy, sad, up and down....it's like Derryn Hinch used to say..."That's Life"

Possibly those 4 words "taking care of yourself" could be best described by 4 different words..."day at a time"
