Re: Recipe for disaster??

This is a great thread. I have had so many of these same thoughts. One of the things I do when I want to stop and smell the roses, is to come to our Her2 site. I do not have the large responsibilites that many do, and I am grateful. That being said, it is still easy to forget to take time for myself, time for those I really care about and time to just feel the joy around me. Oh yes, and taking time to be grateful that I am still here! For those who have plates overflowing with jobs and families, I hope you can sneak out some time for you. Schedule yourself on your "daytimer." You deserve it!

All the best to all of you wonderful friends,
