I ran across a blog recently at http://khairusworld.blogspot.com/2011/10/take-vacation-every-day.html that got me thinking.  I’m a compulsive worker.  So rarely do I get up from my desk, that I have back and hip problems because of it.  I am now in the process of compiling a list of things to do during the day—mini-vacations—that will refresh my mind and body, and bring fresh vigor to my work.  I will share this with you as far as it goes. A great part of embracing abundance is enjoying everyday life.

• Take a bubble bath (collect scents—lavender and chamomile are great for reducing stress.
• Dress up even if you’re staying home—makeup,hair, dress up clothes, jewelry, perfume, the whole bit.
• Go to Michael’s craft store and buy craft supplies for grandchildren and jewelry-making supplies for me.
• Make jewelry
• Do a page in a scrapbook
• Walk up the canyon to  Bridal Veil Falls
• Have a picnic, even if it’s in your own yard
• Experiment with a new recipe
• Shop on-line.
• Read a humorous Georgette Heyer
• Watch a movie (I recommend the BBC version of North & South)
• Have a glitter toes pedicure
• Give yourself a facial
• Deep condition your hair
• Have a manicure
• Have a massage or sit in your massage chair
• Call a friend
• Send one thank you card every week.  You’ll think of a reason.  Thank you cards are a lost art and courtesy

I’d love to see your list in the comments!
