At the end of a tiring week of work and classes I am ready for a restful weekend at home. But we all know that the likelihood of me having a weekend full of spa like treatment and peace and quiet is rarely probable. Even when I have a break from work I find myself caught up in chores and errands, house cleaning, and other tasks I've been putting off. Where I may be able to talk someone into giving me a five minute back rub, I doubt I'll have time for a pedicure and a bubble bath. In our world where we live such busy lives, it is nearly impossible to slip away for an hour or two let alone a full day to just put aside our hectic lives and catch a bit of time. Where I can possibly fit in a trip to the tanning salon or a waxing appointment once a month, it's not quite enough to make me feel as if I've really treated myself. When a holiday or a birthday comes along and someone asks me what I want, the first thing that I think of is a gift cards or a new cutting board. Although these might be wise presents, they are necessities and giving these necessities doesn't take much thought. A present should be a thing you want, not something you need. Sometimes we forget our own worth and we need a friend to come in and remind us to take some time for our self. A present should persuade you to take care of yourself, not help you run yourself further into the ground. Even though I can say I wouldn't have much spare time to make a spa appointment even if I received a gift card, I know a few home remedies that will do the trick almost as well.
