It never fails. The minute I write about self care I get sick. Nothing too terrible--- I'm just hurting enough that I can't work out, and ill enough that I don't want to spread my germs around, except to my immediate family. It's too late for them anyway. If they're going to get it, they will. I'm sure it's not much more than the "it's only November, why is it so cold and miserable outside already" blues coupled with a sore shoulder and a touch of the flu. This is not my best time of year. Now that I have kids, I enjoy Christmas, but my mood definitely takes a hit around now. I try to exercise, take Vitamin D, stay connected and do what I can. It's not easy. There is probably more I could do but it's also important not to get overloaded. As the old AA adage reminds us, just take it a day at a time.
