DSP Topic: Indulgence

DSP Topic: In what way do you indulge yourself? In what way do you wish you could indulge yourself?

I have to admit that right now there isn't much time or extra family resources available for me to indulge myself (or at least not like I'd like). I work full-time outside of the home, have a part-time business, a husband and baby at home. I'm in the same struggle for "me time" that all mothers face. However, when I can "steal" a few moments and do something just for me - it usually involves a long bubble bath with a good book and a glass of wine. Or these days it might also involve playing around with my new hobby - digital scrapbooking.

Truthfully, I need to take more time to indulge myself. Some of the ways I wish to indulge me are: being able to get massages on a regular basis, having a manicure and pedicure more often...just being pampered. These days having a girls night out is an indulgence...I wish I could do that more often.

Just some more thoughts about this topic....
While pregnant, I was told by other experienced moms to remember to take care of yourself. Women spend so much of our time taking care of those around us, that when the day is over, we find we haven't taken care of ourselves. We will be better wives, mothers and friends if we allow ourselves time to indulge and pamper our inner self.
