When I was younger, I was very busy. Now in my 60’s, I would still say I’m busy. However, it is a different kind of busy. It’s a more leisurely sort of busy where I am only doing things that I want to do because I enjoy doing them – and I have no problem in changing my plans or cancelling, with notice, if my circumstances unexpectedly change. This outcome is due partly to learning to care for myself. ​

 Lemon Juice Softens Hands

 If your hands get rough and dry and no amount of hand cream seems to do the trick, try rubbing lemon juice into them – I find this works wonders. My grandmother used to keep half a lemon by the sink (after the juice had been squeezed out). 

We hear a lot about self-care these days, and think it has something to do with having a massage, or a glass of wine, or going on a holiday, or going without something, or having to add another list of things to do to our already too-long list.
​
But what if self-care was as simple as nurturing and loving your body in every move you make?
