I've never been able to put it so eloquently though. Life is so different when you put yourself lovingly first--not to be confused in a selfish and self serving way-- not only are you able to function in a more wholesome fashion, but I think it teaches others around you that it's OK to put themselves first. We live in a martyr-like world, to "do everything" for someone else is upheld in great approval, to do for yourself is nearly always seen as greedy or selfish. We have to stop "cutting off our toes" in order to create a better world for ourselves to live in. I want my kids to grow up to be able to think for themselves; if I always "do for" them by doing all the thinking for them they will never learn to say, "no" when others tell them what to do ergo they will do things like drugs and sleeping around and making bad friend choices. <br/><br/>Out here in the fringe of reality, Once again you've nailed it for me Mary.
