I’m sure in your line of work you deserve more than just a spa day! :) I’m glad you didn’t fall prey to the guilt because that day is going to pay off!(if it already hasn’t)

Take care!

I just had a friend 'wrestle' me to go to the spa for a massage the other day. I admit there was some guilt, but it was very short lived and I was a new person for taking that much needed break. Balance is key. Have a Blessed Day! Hi Jarrod,

I love this post. I just had a friend ‘wrestle’ me to go to the spa for a massage the other day. I admit there was some guilt, but it was very short lived and I was a new person for taking that much needed break. Balance is key.

Have a Blessed Day!

That's so true, we can't truly love someone else until we learn to love ourselves. Thanks for stopping by!! Welcome Jean,

You do deserve to be pampered! Too bad I can't go and get my hair and nails done...lol. But a nice massage will do the trick. I wish you success on your novel. Be sure to let me know when you're done, I want to support you!! Thanks for stopping by! Hi Ruby,

I'm not suggesting that one should go and over-indulge or loose sense of focus, there should be balance when it comes to certain foods like Krispy Kreme or ice cream. Thanks for stopping by!

Plus, I think when we learn to treat ourselves better we also treat others better. Rewarding ourselves and celebrating our successes, both small and large, makes life so much sweeter.

Thanks for reminding us to take some time and pamper our selves. I'm in the middle of writing a novel and it's very challenging. There are times that I even forget to eat. Today I think I will pamper myself. Get my feet done and toe nails colored with a bright color, I don't know maybe yellow it's spring after all lol. God bless Jarrod and keep up the good work!

You're right that life is about balance. Now, this doesn't mean he wants you all to eat donuts for life and grow fat. The key word is BALANCE! All work and no play makes anyone dull. And Jarrod's right, if your dogs get treats, so should you. You're much better than a dog. And taking a break has many benefits for body and mind. http://sn.im/vlvxi speaks of reasons why our body and mind needs that balance. I like this post especially with the Krispy Kreme pic (Sweet!)
