Treat Yo' Self
Today is a Day Off.
(It's been a long week, let's just say.)
Anyway, I have decided that it is my own version of the practice of Treat Yo' Self, as immortalized in Parks and Recreation, which series just ended. (The finale was just LOVELY, btw.) I've linked the clip defining and illustrating the practice, but for me, it's not just purchases. It's also taking a moment to breathe.
So I just set the table with my grandmother's Noritake china (swapping out my everyday placemat for a linen one), made myself garlic-and-herb baked fish and a salad and a toasted muffin, poured myself a glass of Miner Vineyards Viognier gifted to me on my birthday, and put Billie Holiday on the stereo. It's a rainy day here in the subtropics, and as night falls we're already enveloped in grey and green.
Master Danger got an extra sliced bit of carrot or two, as well.
That really is treating myself. (The fish and the wine are PERFECTION together.)
I hope you can treat yo' self today with stuff you already have but don't use. Let today be special for you.
Cheers. Treat yo' self. :)
