Friends, really. I’ve gone many, many years on this train-trip called life, and never until today did I understand why we’re actually here.
The reason is Massage.
Not kidding. Had my first massage today. I am a changed woman. Life means so much more than broken dryers and dirty dishes. It means rosemary-scented oil. It does. (I came right home and made another loaf of rosemary bread. It felt a tiny bit canibalistic. But, with therapy, I’ll come to deal with that.)
See, back many moons ago (in February) when I was singing-and-dancing on stage in Joseph, a friend gave me a gift card for a massage. Which I promptly hung on my fridge and gazed at daily. I told myself this was a special treat. A reward for some job well done. Some job that never got done, well or not, until now. But since I finished my draft (again) I knew I had arrived. And I went. And I loved, loved, loved it.
People should do this weekly.
Oh, people do? Well, I’m not those people. But for sure, I should do it again. Some day. It was utterly relaxing, candle-lit and stuff, and there was funky, new-agey music playing softly from above, and my feet didn’t even get too cold (a common ailment, if you’re me). Also, my shoulders felt Awesome, right up until I sat down on this not-ergo-anything chair and started typing.
*sigh*
So there it is. The Reason. Massage. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.
I’m so glad you enjoyed your massage. I’ve had two, and they both made me feel like I was going to barf. I must have a lot of toxins in my system or something, but whatever the case, I don’t think I’ll be ‘releasing’ them via massage any time soon.

It sounds blissful! I’ve never had a massage either. I’m a little jealous. =)

I had my first massage this Spring and could not believe I had never done it before. I seriously could get so hooked that we would have to file bankruptcy.

Yeah, this is a mandatory reward for finishing a manuscript. And I get a pair of shoes when it gets accepted.
So, yeah. I guess we know the two reasons I write.
Oh, yes. There are always good reasons to write! Shoes and massages are high on the list.

I’ve only had one once and it was while pregnant with Emma. I was the one the massage students at the massage school practiced on. No other pregnant gals showed up so I got a two and a half hour massage.
Heaven.
Thanks for reminding me…I think I know what I want for Christmas now.

Yes! Yes! You have arrived, my dear. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of massages. Amen and Amen.
