Making An Effort

Hello Everyone:

Another good day for me.  I got everything I needed to done.  I sort of splurged on bath stuff today.  The grocery store I shop has a great low priced line of bath products and as luck would have it, I needed a few things.  The store has this heavenly scented French triple milled soap and lotion.  Did mention the equally delicious facial mist and oil?  No?  Sorry.  I timed my visit before my shower and maintenance shutting off of the hot water for emergency repair so I could indulge myself.  So worth it.  Another small, all to myself, joyous moment.  Another good moment right now, great music to write.  Ever since I have no idea when, I've had a thing for girly stuff like makeup, nice bath and skin care products.  It sounds silly but there's something uniquely fascinating about the ritual of putting on makeup or a bath regime.  It's hard for Mum to understand because she's essentially given up on making an effort.  Too bad, her loss.  I make the effort for myself just to feel better.  Nothing wrong with that.  It's the same reason I like to wear nice clothes and do my hair properly.  If anyone else appreciates the effort, great.  As long as it makes me feel good, there's nothing wrong.
