self care

I realized yet again that I can be really crap at self care.  There are things I love to do that get put on the back burner.  There are things I need to do every day to control chronic pain and keep me walking.  I have to walk and move every day.  It makes me feel better.  While I do that, I need to look at what is around me.  I love the petals on this rose.

On my last adventure, it was observed that I love to take pictures.  I do not carry the big camera around with me when I am traveling.  If I have it with me, I never take it out of the car.  I use my phone.  It is like having a point and shoot with you all the time.

I was gifted with this attachement to my phone.  I find between the zoom capability of this lense and the DSLR features on the camera app on my phone, the pictures I take are as good as my large digital camera.  My camera is old enough that I could probably upgrade it but this works for me.  Especially since I do not shoot in film.  If I did, I would never have any pictures.

The other thing I need to remember to do for myself is spin.  It is restful.  And even though my spinning wheel sits out in the open, I have a tendency to head someplace else first.  More spinning and crocheting for me!
