Importance of Self Care

Importance of Self Care by Carole A. Doerr (a Short Story Contest submission)

I talked to a woman while waiting.  She spoke of the creative items she made and of her many reponsibilities she has to help her family.  I was impressed.  I realized that she did not give herself quality time.  I complimented her on her creativity.  I suggested that she spend 15 minutes each day for self care.  I said this may not be easy, but the benefits will be worthwhile..
