It's a Sign

Early this morning (when I should have been in bed) while working on an article about how important self care is to your marriage, our connection to the Internet died. It didn't flicker on and off. It was gone.

I took it as a sign that I needed to pay attention to what I was writing and I went to bed. I know I feel better and have more energy when I get enough sleep, do some exercise, eat healthy meals, and make time for myself. When I feel better, I'm a nicer and more interesting spouse, too.

Bottom line --and a recent study supports this -- if we're not taking care of ourselves, we're not taking care of our marriages. Your personal well-being is important! Take care.
