If I put this here, maybe I'll remember

Frederick Buechner:

"Mind your own business" means butt out of other people's lives because in the long run they must live their lives for themselves, but it also means pay mind to your own life, your own health and wholeness, both for you own sake, but ultimately for the sake of those you love too. Take care of yourself so you can take care of them. A bleeding heart is no help to anybody if it bleeds to death.
