Put Your Mask on FIRST

As many in my area are dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, we have lots of emotions about the recovery effort. Those that were spared the flood damage suffer from "survivors guilt" and the communities hit hard have a sense of "death" for the life that had. As we wake up each morning prepared to muck out homes, deliver meals, wash clothes, and rebuild our city it is easy to become consumed with the effort ahead. 

A recent plane trip comes to mind....when in a stressful situation, put your own mask on FIRST. 



It's easy to feel guilty for taking the time to exercise, relax, enjoy a healthy meal, etc. You need to take care of yourself so that you can be your best self for others.
