Heart 2 Heart by Annemadelein

Today I want to reach out to people I love and respect dearly.  People whom society sometimes neglects and abandon without knowing the responsibility that they so willingly carry…  This is the parents and caregivers of children with special needs and the SARDA instructors and helpers.  With personal experience I have realized that an empty cup cannot overflow into its saucer.  This simply means that if you do mot take care of yourself, you cannot give optimal care to the people around you that so desperately need it.

Circumstances, problems and programs overwhelm us and we forget to focus on things that are elementary but so important.  We forget that our own health is priority above our diaries and our clients/families.  We so easily think: “I’m not doing enough!” or “This is all my fault!”  Feeling guilty and neglecting your own health will not erase the past and it will not provide a future for yourself and the ones you take care of.  Taking one day at a time and being the best that YOU can possibly be is enough!
