Today I had a fabulous fun activity – a massage. Thanks to a birthday gift from two of my siblings, I got to have months worth of tension massages out of my shoulders. Glorious!
About a year ago I recognized the need for some self-pampering and took up getting semi-regular pedicures and creating nights for myself to go out shopping. It was frivolous but well worth it because I felt more calm and relaxed. For some reason I have let those things go in lieu of the other obligations of my life. Today was a great reminder that I need to take more time for myself. Not only do I have fun doing it, but by being relaxed I prime myself to have more fun with others.
