I am taking your suggestions to heart and have scheduled several nice pampering missions for myself this month. Here is a partial list. Today I went to a lovely Christmas concert. As a professional musician, I am usually playing in the concerts I hear. This was a treat, to sit back, relax, and listen to others play beautiful music.

+ keep up with manicures
+ monthly pedicure
+ annual back treatment (back facial)
+ massage
+ play the piano.  not my professional instrument, but very enjoyable to just sit down and play with no pressure on
+ read some nice books
+ bought myself some Christmas presents, a pretty mug which I’m now
drinking some herbal tea out of, gloves with iphone sensitive fingertips, a whisky-loaded fruitcake
+ wonderful smelling shower gel and lotion
+ plans to get together with the “girls” from high school
+ no “traditional things that have to be done”. Decorate if I want to, don’t if I don’t. I don’t have to put a wreath on my front door, last year’s is still up!

Thanking God for you and the crew and all you do.
