"Love is the capacity to take care, to protect, to nourish.  If you are not capable of generating that kind of energy toward yourself – if you are not capable of taking care of yourself, of nourishing yourself, of protecting yourself – it is very difficult to take care of another person." -   Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh

So what are you doing to take care of yourself today?

I schedule some time everyday to play. Fortunately, my play time is also my work time. And if my play time includes adventures away from the beach, I can make those adventures work time by taking photographs or jotting down observations for Pug adventures or blog entries.

It’s all a matter of perspective and how we choose to look at things.

Honor yourself  on Valentine's Day by doing something fun, just for you.

And if you don’t have a Valentine as such with which to celebrate the day, it’s that much more important to love and honor yourself.
