Jess, for sure!!!Again, there are no rules except those we impose on ourselves, so why the heck not?

That is a good phrase Tricia, our Pastor used to say "Inch by inch, it's a cinch"......it has helped me many times over the years.......Jess I agree. I chose the phrase 'Little by Little' as mine for next year.
You are a shining example of why we do our Word.Over the years dh heard me talk about the word of the year. The other day he asked me what was my word of the year for 2021. I told him and then he told me he was going to do one for 2021. He saw how it has benefitted me. Who knew that others could tell?!
Amen to that.Whatever word we choose, we should all be kind to ourselves, pat ourselves (and each other) on the back, and celebrate every little victory.
I was just going to say the same thing. Jane is so right. We got through celebrations, milestones, and holidays that I wasn't sure I could do in March. Just thinking about it makes me tear up. I think we are all stronger than we thought we were. I also think that we are stronger because of finding the right people to cheer us on or to listen to us struggle as we go through this pandemic. I am so glad that I was able to get on to these forums to process 2020 with everyone here.Amen to that.
That's very cool. My daughter also checks in with me yearly.Over the years dh heard me talk about the word of the year. The other day he asked me what was my word of the year for 2021. I told him and then he told me he was going to do one for 2021. He saw how it has benefitted me. Who knew that others could tell?!
I have noticed to be a major problem for many women especially care givers. Learning to say No or Not now is really difficult. And saying I do not have time until next week is hard until you get use to it. Also if the person has other family members divide the tasks between each person. Those other people can find someone to take their place or help pay for additional caregivers.I was brainstorming today and I'm coming here for some help. I realized after being forced into down time in 2020 that I need to be a bit more selfish with my time again. I feel like I give, give, give and because I'm a caregiver I tend to put my needs secondary.
