Tag Archives: My message to parents “put yourselves first”

Day 663

You have to take care of yourself before you can take of anybody  else – that’s what I keep learning 🙂

It’s 7: 11 PM on day 663 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, feed myself All Bran Flakes  for breakfast, watch TV,   prepare and  publish my Disability of the Day feature, feed myself  brown rice and vegetables   for lunch, watch some more  TV, feed myself boiled vegetables for dinner and brush my teeth once more.

This morning my mother received life-changing news from her doctor which compels me to say to all parents, especially special needs parents, take care of yourself so that you can take care of your kids. Are you taking care of yourself?

I LOVE hearing from you feel free to leave a comment below.
