I will admit, of the exercises we have done so far, loving kindness has been my favorite. It wasn't hard to fill myself with loving thoughts about my children, (especially considering their grandma took them for the afternoon so I could do homework!!) but it was difficult to turn that focus back towards myself. It was a good reminder of what we have been learning, that if we do not take care of ourselves, it makes it more difficult to take care of others.
I have not been functioning at 100% lately, between major job stress and a nasty sinus infection. Once I get a few assignments checked off my to-do list, I am going to take a nap so I can kick this illness and feel better when my children get home this evening!
