I learned to be gentle with myself Made in 69 50 years of awesomeness shirt. She taught me the significance of loving myself before my feet hit the floor. Being gentle with myself in the morning sets a softer tone that extends throughout my day. She taught me the significance of tending to my soul before tackling the to-do list. This loving practice doesn’t eliminate the stresses and strains of everyday life, but it helps me respond to them better. I call it what prepares us to handle whatever lies ahead. Perhaps my child will learn to love herself through difficult periods of life by the way I love her through the difficult mornings of every day. Time will tell. But for now, I will remember the significance of loving ourselves and each other before our feet hit the floor.
