It is alright to treat myself, isn't it?

05 December 2009
Posted by missophelia 
This is going to sound childish, but when I was at the grocery store today, I bought this adorable, soft, large polar bear...to sleep with.

I have a smaller stuffed animal, but I wanted something larger, to be more of a comfort to me when I'm trying to get to sleep.

I think it's OK to treat myself.
In fact, the more I think about it, I know it's OK.

Who knows, maybe it will help me sleep a little better.

I think it's almost important that we treat ourselves every now and then, I think it helps us to realize that despite how we might feel, or have been told, we have worth. So yes, you do deserve to treat yourself, and I'm very glad you did. the bear sounds lovely. :hug:

Thanks ladyscorpion. It felt good to treat myself, and it felt so good to sleep with the bear last night.
I hope you treat yourself too...
