The older I get, the less bothered I am about Valentine’s Day.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m a hardcore romantic. I’m that person who says, “Oh look, it’s a wedding car!” every time a car with a ribbon attached to the front of the bonnet zips past us.
Yes, I love a good wedding and would probably also love a bad one, if I’d ever been to one. I mean what’s not to love about getting frocked up to celebrate two people loving each other while dining on chicken or beef?!
But I’m also someone who thinks a $10 bunch of flowers bought for no reason at all is far more romantic than a huge bouquet sent on Feb 14th.
And the older I’m becoming, the more I’m realising that looking after yourself – putting yourself first – really is the key to good health and true happiness.
There are so many ways to do that and just quietly, one of my faves is to treat myself.
Lately I’ve been treating myself to a healthy lunch at my local coffee shop a couple of times a week. I love it because
- I don’t have to make it myself
- it gets me out of my home office for half an hour and
- there aren’t any dishes to do!
Sometimes I even manage to have a quick stroll around the shops afterwards. I mean a girl’s gotta get her cardio in somehow, right?!
Usually I’m on a strict ‘research purposes only’ stroll. But every now and again something will catch my eye and a sneaky ‘treat yourself’ purchase is made.
