I remember when all I wanted for Christmas was a pony.
Now I name bikes after famous ponies and, so I guess very little has changed!
In lieu of that, I can at least give myself a little kindness. When DW asked if I needed any of these days off this week, I said no. It adds a little bit of a scheduling challenge but it also means that I will carve out time from the day to be good to ME! It means that part of each day will be spent in service to my own well being. For one hour today, I will stop being someone else's someone/something and only be myself. Then I can dive right back into the madness.
If you can this season, give yourself the best gift you can. Take a little bit of time to devote to your own well-being. It doesn't have to be a workout. Walk the dog, hide in a room and read a book for a half hour, take an extra long bath, whatever.
Be your own personal Santa!!
Give yourself a gift.
YOU DESERVE IT!!
Cheers!!
