Yeah, I know, mums get sick and we just need to carry on - and I guess over the past 8yrs I've been very fortunate on that front. But after the 4 days that have just gone past, I really was left thinking, "who looks after me?" Now, that sounds more pity-party and poor-me than actually what I mean. I thought, it's all very well that *I'm* learning about the natural healing properties of herbs, and know what I need to do for the rest of my family, but it doesn't really factor in looking after me.
I got to thinking that when the kids are sick I cuddle, snuggle, find herbal teas for them, offer soothing honeys, provide nourishing food and drink, and generally "nurse" them through an illness. But the person offering all of this often misses out on reciprocal treatment.
So after being down with the flu (not really fair after being laid low with Strep throat only 6wks ago), and not being able to help myself much, I think I need to write up a little healing manual for my family to refer to for times just like this...
Yesterday we were blessed with a lovely blue sky and warm, healing sunshine. So the kids and I spent a good amount of time out there around lunchtime soaking up the sunrays and producing a good dose of vitamin D, which we have probably all been starting to run thin on with the shorter days, and lower angled sun.
Hopefully we've had a headstart and will have a fairly bug-free winter now?
