pink peonies

Sometimes all it takes to make my day is letting myself indulge in a $3.99 bunch of peonies from Trader Joe’s. It’s easy to talk myself out of buying flowers. After all, they aren’t REQUIRED.

Sometimes, though, I need to let myself have something in my life just for the beauty of it. I suggest you go get some pink peonies and see what happens.

It doesn’t have to be something you buy, either.

I get that way with music, too. Really listening to a song, not just having it on in the background is a joyous indulgence. I often FEEL the emotion of it. That feels like a gift.

Treats can also are letting myself have fresh berries on yogurt. Or whipped cream on hot chocolate.

Sometimes a little kindness to ourselves goes a long way.

And to others.

I received a little package out of the blue from a friend who had asked for my Amazon wish list.

It brought a smile to my face.

What nice thing can you do for yourself? And for someone else?
