As the kids go back to school, you can go back to *you*...your schedule, your friends, your goals.
Here are ten simple indulgences to celebrate this season. 1.
Invite your girlfriends over for a Back-to-School tea.
Have lots of pamper me items in hand.
Do you or any of your friends know a massage therapist?
Ask her to come and do backrubs.
Eat decadent pastries and drink coffee or tea.
Catch up on everything youve missed during the hectic summer. 2.
Go on a hike or a bike ride all by yourself. 3.
Start a circle journal to keep in touch with your friends.
A circle journal (aka. a round robin) is a book that goes back and forth among friends, each of whom add a special contribution before passing it on.
