sticking to NOT splurging

Read this blog post about breaking the "purge and splurge" cycle once and for all. While it addresses financial matters, it could easily be applied to other matters as well--diet, attitude, and so on.

I hope, what I demonstrate through this blog--at least some of the time--is that splurging doesn't have to involve dollars and cents. It doesn't even have to involve calories and consumption.

Splurging can be taking a little extra TIME to do something that you don't otherwise take the time to do, like:
  • Read
  • Exercise
  • Call a friend
  • Make a new one
  • Write a letter
  • Get cozy (Ava's favorite thing to do lately)
  • Bake cookies
  • Daydream
  • Write your life
  • Pray
  • Smile

Splurge of the Moment

Spending lots of time underneath things with the little one--like desks, tables, tunnels made out of blankets, sofa cushions, you name it, as long as it requires a flashlight.

I could not agree more. Right now, taking the 10 minutes to sit down and catch up on this blog is the biggest (and nicest) "splurge" I have had all week!
