Taking Care of the Important Stuff

Today Molly and I had massages and pedicures. She had the day off so we decided to make the most of it. More than one person at the massage place asked, "Is it somebody's birthday today?"

It made me wonder if it has to be a special occasion to take some time just for ourselves. Maybe we need to do something special for ourselves just because we deserve it. Maybe we need a massage, or fifteen minutes sitting outside on a beautiful afternoon, or watching a movie on television while the dishes sit in the sink. We need to stop and honor ourselves for the precious creations we are.

We work really hard to get the "important stuff" done, but maybe we need to remember that we are the important stuff, too.
