We often push ourselves too hard as mother, as caretakers, and especially as animal rescuers. It’s extremely hard to take the time and slow down to even ask ourselves if we’re “OK”. Yesterday was a reminder of just how easy it is to let our own personal care fall from being the number one priority. I really thought I had been taking it easy and ignored minor signs that shouldn’t have been ignored. I’m very thankful for Southern Animal Foundation for their amazing care of me and as always, our animals. If you have a friend or loved one who is in the animal rescue world please check in on them often. When they tell you, they are OK don’t believe them. Be specific with your questions. Ask them when the last time they drink something was. Ask them when the last time they had a break was. Push them to really slow down and assess their own well-being.
