Once a long time ago, Larry and I rented an
apartment in the 7th, near UNESCO. The apartment was amazing with a huge dining room table, and a patio that had potted olive trees and a small table.
It was the year when a good friend, Bruno, who worked for the opera company, invited us to the Opera House for a mystery night. Larry participated and I was the photographer.

It was the year when I fell on the steps and messed up my left foot,
especially the toe.

I sat at the dining room table with my foot elevated....
How awesome is that view?
Who cared about a broken toe? I was on holiday with Larry.
Within 9 months, I would be diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time. Another surgery. Another treatment. Storms that would send a tree through our roof. Freezing storms that would leave us without power for 4 days while the house was at 37 degrees for the entire time. Covid, and an insurrection of our capitol.
I personally felt like my life was fraying away.
Not to mention, I still had a super wonky toe.
Of course you can laugh.
I always felt like that toe (it was basically the nail that got crunched and stayed black and blue for over 6 months) was beyond help till I talked to my friend about it. She suggested that I try a few things....and look what I found.
It has arrived and is powering up now, and I cannot wait to try it.
Why hadn't I thought of this myself?
Larry and I are going to the beach, and I would love to have pretty feet.
So much has been happening and even though I felt awful about my foot, I ignored taking care of it. Have you ever felt like that?
We all deserve to feel nice and happy.
NO MATTER WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE WORLD.
It is called self-care.
I have not been very good about that.
Even after cancer.
I would LOVE any suggestions you have to
help with achieving self-care.
Life is to wonderful to live it miserable, even the little things.
Love you beyond the moon.
Me
