Not just once in a while, but all the time. This is within reach. It has little to do with your finances and everything to do with your perspective.
When my son was little, he and I were out getting a few groceries with a friend. She said to him, "Pick out any orange you like and I will buy it for you." It took a few minutes for him to choose from the mountain of oranges. Several were thoroughly examined until he found just the right one. It was then carried with great pride through the store. Our friend had the cashier ring it through separately.
When we returned home, she washed and cut it, then placed it on a plate with a big napkin. It was then carried to the table, where he was watching and waiting, like a beautiful gift. It was.
I don't know if either he or she remember that. But I do.
Treat yourself. Take that bowl of morning oatmeal, but today, warm the milk, drizzle a little honey, and sprinkle with cinnamon. Open the package of deliciously scented soap you received at Christmas and fill the bathtub. Pour afternoon tea in your most beautiful cup.
There is nothng to wait for. Today, and every day, is a special occasion. Treat yourself.
All good things, k
