When was the last time you did something for yourself - just for YOU?

I bought a present to a good friend!

Usually, when I like something very much, I buy and give it to good friends, who I know they enjoy, thus, I make double good to me: I get what I like and I make my friends happy!

Similarly, when I think I know/ learn something, I try to deliver this knowledge to others, especially young people (for me young people can be from 0 to 107 years! - this is the range of people I have had dialogs!)

It had been a very, very long time but just yesterday I bought a small little set of aluminum flames to put on my truck. They are only about six inches long and I know some will think they look silly but I just wanted to do something subtle and different. The flames almost exactly match the color of my truck so they won't stand out. Only those who are really looking will notice them. And that was exactly the point!

I know, I know... But hey, it's got a Hemi :-)

To tell you the truth, I'm quite selfish about this matter, I try to do things for me and only for me in any time I can, life is too short, it years are passing so fast, why not try to do something for yourself, spoil yourself, half an hour a day to do what you really enjoy, what ever it was, you can spare half an hour can't you?

I can't honestly say how long it has been. Seems like I'm always doing something for someone else all the time and never have time for myself any more. I just recently moved back home with my health failing parents to care for them and so I will say it will be even longer now before I ever do anything for my self now. It's a full time job just taking care of them.But they are worth it and I love them both dearly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2 days ago I went shopping and bought myself cloths. Before that it had been months. That is usually the way it works with me I do for others all the time, then I just get to the point where I need some me time and I go off either shopping or to the beach.

daily, you need to treat yourself right and respect yourself or others won't. Doesn't need to be flasy, I enjoy a good book with a cup of hot tea every day. That is my time, makes me feel better as well.

I bought me a new cell phone the other day, so that my parents wouldn't have to buy me a new one. Oh wait never mind that doesn't count. It would probably have to be me taking this job that I am doing right now so that I can loose some weight.

I do that all the time: taking care of my health, learn new things, buy myself clothes and things I truly need to feel comfortable and to make myself nice, colour my hair, make-up, hang out with friends, listen to music to refresh my spirit..... many things.

But the things that truly make me happy are the ones I do for others, to be honest... :)

3 years ago, before I got married , kinda funny that's the last time anyone did something just for me too

The day before yesterday, I worked out long and hard to lengthen my life and improve my living.
