It's a Tuaca Day

If you have never heard of Tuaca, it is an Italian Vanilla liquor that can turn my cold hard heart into a warm loving tender heart again.  I love Tuaca. 

This evening was spent putting together a summary of the divorce.  It is most sad to my heart knowing that my entire marriage can be summed up into 20 pages of divorce.  Someone told me today that it is so easy to get married and so difficult to divorce.  I agree.  I have spent so much time and we have just made temporary orders.  UGH!

So today I learned that I need to take of myself.  I don't mean getting pampered by someone else, but actually me taking care of me.  I take care of people.  I have a team of 35 and I take care of them, all of them.  But me?  I neglect me.  I pay for massages, pedicures, manicures, but *I* don't take care of me.  Moving forward on this journey I will learn to take care of me again.  I will spend time with me, pampering me.  That is when my heart is happiest. 

I also learned that I need to slow down.  Just simply slow down.  What is the Lord telling me? (I have prayed continuously lately as I start this journey)  HE is telling me to slow down.  Follow HIS way, listen and do as HE wants me to do.  I have the most difficult time with this as I don't have patience and the Lord works very slowly in my mind!!! 

Slow down and take care of me....what a concept, huh???
