I bought myself flowers today.
Just because.
Because they’re pretty and I could use a little prettiness at my desk.
Because I’m feeling good today and want to commemorate.
First I second-guessed. We’re closed tomorrow and what if they’re wilted and dead when I come in on Thursday?
So what? They’re going to die anyway. At least I can enjoy them today.
And I am. I’m enjoying them.
It’s the little thrill of doing something just for me.
“Ooh, are they from your hubby?” I’m asked. When I say that they’re to me from me I see widening eyes…but once that brief moment of surprise has passed, I see appreciation.
“I just might do that myself!” is the response.
She should. We all should.
When’s the last time you did something just for you? What was it?
Sigh…I don’t know. I really don’t. I’m glad you did it; you deserve a bit of sunshine
Thanks, friend. You deserve it, too. Find something for YOU!!!
Heck yes, you deserve your own flowers! What a wonderful idea!
Sometimes it’s the little things, right?
You deserve the happiness, my friend.
For me? I get a manicure every 2 weeks. Sounds spoiled to some, but to me? That’s my time. One hour, every other week to get away from the madness. Also? It’s a nice, pretty treat for myself too.
Dude, not spoiled at all. I’ve noticed your pretty nails, too! And I’m envious. I love getting my nails done but never keep up with it. Anyway, everyone needs something like that and I’m glad you have your “thing”. You deserve it!
Love every last little but of this, Jen!
We all deserve that kind of brightness, and my goodness! We all should treat ourselves this well!
We SHOULD treat ourselves well, dear friend. Everything else follows.
I definitely need to find something to treat myself to. Something to make me feel so special. Maybe I’ll get myself flowers as well.
You should do one small thing for yourself every day. Seriously!
Something just for me? Every couple weeks I go and get my nails done over my lunch hour. It’s one hour where I can talk to another adult without being interrupted or anything. It’s an hour for just me and I walk out with nice looking nails and feeling just a bit more refreshed!
I love your flowers… you deserved them!
That refreshed feeling is what it’s all about, isn’t it? It’s like we take pride after a while in not doing anything just for us. We’ll bend over backwards for those we love but not for ourselves. So wrong! You keep getting those nails done, lady!
