Travel, Pamper, Shop

Hey guys, I have been thinking and have come to the conclusion that I am living an abundant life. Over the last year there have been things I should not have done or rather I didn't do it right. Let me try to have logical stream of thou hgt. I like travel, pampering myself with Mani & pedicures, I like getting my hair done, coloring my hair, trying make-up. Etc. I am woman. I like to shop, eat out and party. Oh have I mentioned, I am a full time mother and a part-time employee working 15 hrs a week. What that means is money is so precious, how can I possibly do any of those things. This is another of my goals for my life.
I want to live an abundant life, regardless of income. So I am setting out to travel, pamper myself, and shop with in the confounds of my circumstances. I am not doing bad so far.
I have a two day trip to Panama set for Feb 6th using my timeshare, the trip is $120 plus gas and Kecia and I are going. It may even turn into a couples trip. There's my travel plus around June 10 my Little cousin is graduating from high school in Tampa, and around the 4th of July is the Family Reunion. Most of these trip are going to be the cost of gas plus very little. YAY!
On to pampering. I am going to try to self pamper. This way I am taking care of two things rather than one. I have to be still and relax to take the time to file, shape, condition and polish my nails. It is an act of self love to massage and rub my feet with creams, butters, and lotions. I get the dual benefit of giving myself a facial to relax, while I also, clean, moisturize, and care for my face.
Shopping. When ever possible I will run by one of my favorite consignment shops and see what I might find. My most recent purchase was around the holidays. I found a great pair of charcoal jeans. You know, soft, comfortable and CUTE!!!! $8 yeah you heard me!
So this is my thought process. I am going to live more abundantly with less. Amen.
