Hey, Big Spender!

 Pretend you have been given $100

on the condition that you must spend it all on yourself.

What will you do with your money?

 

 

Anyone who knows me well knows I'm extremely frugal...maybe even to a fault. I have always had a really hard time spending money on myself. That is, until recently. I've discovered that sometimes its okay to treat myself, especially if it is something that enhances my life and brings me joy.

 

So $100, eh? Hm. On something just for me, something frivolous. Hm. *taps fingers on keyboard*

Ok, got it. Here it goes...

 

I would spend $50 on a one hour massage. I am not a spa kinda gal, but I have discovered the amazing value of a good massage. My brother gifted me with a certificate for a massage right after I had Jadan. My issues with extreme modesty had been shattered during childbirth, so I was at least willing to give it a shot. It was life-changing, let me tell ya. Especially my head and my feet - oh man. There is healing in the human touch and I love how God designed the human body to be so intricately connected, so that rubbing my feet can ease a headache. Fearfully and wonderfully designed. I have been a ball of nerves lately and I'm sure that would help...at least for a little while.  

 

With the rest of the money, I would like to shop for a new ring. My hands feel weird not wearing one anymore. But I don't want anything super fancy and expensive, I just want one that will be a significant reminder of God's covenant with me. Rings for me are very symbolic and I'm looking for one with meaning.  

 

So $50 on a something that is good for my body, the other $50 for something for my mind, and both would be beneficial in their own way to my spirit.

 

I may have to make this pretend scenario into a reality....
