Buddha says...

...to take care of yourself.  Honest, he does (well, he did :-) ).  And I agree with him.  We often don't take care of ourselves...we insist on trying to take care of everyone and everything BUT ourselves.  Well, it's time to stop that, and I've created a reminder to do so.




I like how this turned out (see an earlier post for pictures mid-project).  The crackle paint, the Buddha bead on top, the grosgrain ribbon, the bronze brad to close it, the braided thread to attach to the brad (yep, I took cross stitch thread and braided it...it took a while [like 45 minutes to get the length I needed], but it makes for a nice, finished product :-) ).  Simple, yet complicated in its detail.  What do you think?

So, stop the chaos of your life for five minutes, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and find something you can do for yourself.  Even if it is just for 10 minutes.  Those 10 minutes can go a long way to making you a happier, healthier person for the rest of the people in your life.

Take care, my friends!
