Joyce reminds us in her latest book, Eat the Cooking, Buy the Shoes that "Nothing is wasted if it is used for a right purpose, and blessing yourself at times is right and necessary." If you have just completed a project at work, then celebrate. If you are sad because of a break up then go do something nice for yourself. It's not a waste to buy something for yourself if you can afford it and it helps to make your day a celebration instead of an ordinary day. Every day is special.
A few days ago I was feeling down (just one of those days). I was at the grocery store and was waiting in line to pay for my things. I usually don't buy the magazines on the shelf at the check out because I think they are a waste of money or I won't have time to read it. I decided to buy one that day in an effort to cheer myself up. When I got home I sat down and read it for a little while. It helped. It was a positive, upbeat magazine. I felt better because I gave myself a small gift and I took time to relax. At times, it's worth spending this time or money on yourself. It can make a glum day into a better day.
