Yesterday my daughter took me out to get my pedicure she had promised me on Christmas for a present. While on our way it came down to getting my nails done or getting the money in cash so we could have gas in our vans tank. My husband's unemployment is again on hold. I wish they would get it together. I chose getting gas in our van over the pedicure, besides who besides myself would enjoy my pretty feet in the winter?
Later on in the evening the same daughter came to our house needing a place to stay. I didn't get to writing my blog posts for yesterday because she needed us... she is 8 1/2 months pregnant...if I had done my blogs and not have taken care of her people would have said that is completely selfish.
I am always giving up things or my time so that I can help others, it just seems to be in my nature, even if it impairs my health. I feel guilty when I am ill, not being able to do for others during those times, and no one can say that is completely selfish.
It sounds like you are a very giving person. I had an aunt like that, who would give and give and give until she wore herself out. Its important to stop sometimes and take care of yourself too though. Even if it means being just a little selfish.
