Some Good Stuff For A Change
Well, life has seemed quite a bit more balanced for a bit now. I guess the best way I can describe it is that we're just greeting each day & living our life following whatever path makes us feel right, if you understand what I mean. Oh I can't say that there isn't always those little negative pests that try and put a damper on our days but I do so strive to kick them as far away as possible.
I think togetherness was carried too far when we both came down with a cold/flu/bug at the same time. The worst was the throat & dry coughing that went on. That lastest the longest really. One night was funny though cause he sat on his side of the bed coughing and I sat on mine coughing. Now hows that for togetherness huh.
OK, now, for something that might be good to read. I finally had my spa appointment that was supposed to have been September but was put off. When I finally decided OK, after everything we've been thru I need this. I checked the website for this particular spa and because it was their 10th anniversary in Oct., they were offering specials where you book a treatment and there's a second one for $10. So I jumped on that, called my dearest dearest friend and we went together. She is not as financially blessed as I am so a $10 luxury treatment just made her so happy. Mine was regular price at $110.00.
So here it is. It was a 2 hr chocolate scrub/body wrap & mist treatment. First you had a few minutes of an aromatherapy thing around your upper body to help relax you, then you had a whole body cocoa exfoliation scrub. Then thats wiped off with nice toasty warm water. Then you have a whole body chocolate mask & when thats on you're wrapped in a type of plastic & covered with a blanket. The lights are dimmed, the spa nature music is playing, they leave you for abt 20 minutes & your just feel like you're so pleasantly drifting. Then you shower that off & the finish is a hydrating mist which sprayed on & they gently rub it in & finish with a head & face massage. We then went to a really nice cafe abt a block away & had lunch. Of course I had to finish this whole thing with a Cafe Mocha with of course a bit of whipped topping & shaved chocolate.
So if there's one thing I learned its that chocolate and spa really do go together just so divinely. And darn it all, I felt I deserved that bit of pampering.
For the last 3 days I've had Nancy(barlochan) on my mind to what is almost a strange amount of the time. I get this really strong feeling like she's really watching & oh, I don't know, there's just something about the whole thing I can't put a finger on. I wonder if she's trying to tell me something? Or maybe who knows, my mind is playing strange tricks on me.
Well I guess thats about it for now. I do so love you all for taking time out to read this & I so love reading your thoughts and comments.

Chocolate spa sounds so interesting, I sure you going to have such a lovely time when you go to the spa. I miss Nance as well, I still can\'t believe she has gone. Love and hugs xx
Ack, sorry I am just now seeing this! DS gives me no friend updates most of the time.
I LOL at \"togetherness carried too far\" comment. How funny. The spa treatments sound divine!! I am so happy that you went and enjoyed yourself! And how wonderful that your friend go to go also, and it was within her budget. I think we all need days like that every now and then. I\'m glad you are feeling better and taking things in stride. That must be going around! lol lots of love! m
Now I have heard it all!! LOL A choolate Spa, how delicious that\'s sounds and when i read your journal I felt like I was right there with you. Wish I was that special friend of your\'s. Tell her for me I am happy she went with you although I secretly wish it was me instead.
I can just picture you on one side of the room and Mel on the other side being close even when sick. Very sweet indeed. You make being sick fun!! I love reading this journal. I knew some thing was keeping you away from me. Thank you for the update..
I was once told when we think of people who have passed one we are supposed to pray for them. That\'s all I know about that.
Hope to get together soon with you for I have missed you.
Love you more then you can ever know, Frieda
