Tuesday can be a neglected day of the week. Most of the others have some kind of identity, but poor little Tuesday can be left out.

Beginning today, each Tuesday will be “TLC Tuesday” on my blog. No matter if it’s a good day or a bad day, I encourage each of us to take a little time to bring some Tender Loving Care to ourselves and others, especially for those of us with chronic illness. I’ll have a suggestion for the day, and invite you to send me your suggestions, too. It doesn’t have to be a huge effort, but perhaps only a  moment or two spent comfortably and quietly, reflecting on goodness and God’s love.

We all need a little more TLC. Why not Tuesday?

Today’s suggestion:  Take a moment to breathe! Fill your lungs with the beautiful, relaxing, rejuvenating air that God created and gives us each day. Exhale, imagining all of the tension and stress of the day flowing out with your breath. Thank God for this moment, and smile!
