Superwoman's Christmas
by Ellen Rittenhouse

Do you try to be superwoman at this time of the year? You know working, decorating, cooking, entertaining, etc. How does this affect your health? Do you take time to relax and enjoy your family and the "reason for the season"?

When my girls were young and I was working full time outside the home as well as at home I invariably got a bad cold sometime during the month of December. I explained that as the kids bringing home a cold or my clients "sharing" with me. Finally one year I got such a severe pain in my hip that I had to take a few days off work just before Thanksgiving. That year I didn’t get my usual cold. Surprise, surprise!!

Several months later the "light bulb" came on. (Many of you are too young to remember the old Ford Motor Co. commercials.) For years I had been ignoring my bodies need for rest and relaxation. When I don’t pay attention to what my body needs—rest, relaxation, nutritious food—it goes to extreme measures to get my attention.

As the final preparations are in full swing my wish for you is that you don’t ignore your body’s needs. If you take care of yourself you will be better able to care for those precious loved ones.
