Hi Leah,

I love hydrangeas and this picture is so beautiful – a real treat! And I also love “Wait, wait, don’t tell me!” – but only get it in my car so don’t get to listen that often.

Great treats you’ve lined up for yourself – and what a good idea to ask on twitter what other ipod casts you might go looking for.

I’ll check back to see how your art every day is going – sounds like a terrific project.

Thank you for sharing your week with treats. I really love all of the ways that you made treats a part of your week.

Hi Leah. So love reading your posts and wishing I would treat myself to it more often
I want to participate in creative everyday month again this year. Not recalling why I was not treating myself to it the last couple of years.
Angels be with you as you guide us on this lovely creative everyday month.

I think you and I have a lot in common with the treating business. For example today, I cleaned up before a little blogging pleasure!
It is indeed a joy to connect with all these lovely bloggie people. I’m so glad I took it up!

I try to save my favorite podcasts for treats, too (to listen to while cleaning or exercising). I also love Wait Wait…, Radiolab, and the Moth. This American Life and Savage Love are favorites, too.

I love the idea of listening to something inspiring when we’re doing the no-so-inspiring tasks… what a wonderful way to infuse a little delight into the mundane!

& one more ‘treat’ – tomorrow I bid the lighthouse keeper goodby, & see a new calendar page! Still enjoying that ‘treat’ Like you, I find ‘bribing’ myself, errhem – treating myself, comes easy for some things – & I’m good at ‘just ’cause’ treats as well

Treats was definitely the most enjoyable chapter so far. I gave myself permission to indulge and savor in a bigger way than usual. It was fun tracking what made me smile and what treats I enjoyed. I’m like you, Leah, in that I like cooking when I’m in the mood, which turns out to be not that often. (But I did cook for 20 plus years for the family, so now I’m taking a respite.) Good luck with settling in and feathering your nest.

I don’t treat myself very often “just because” but after reading this chapter I have made a promise to myself to treat myself often. Reading your post is always a treat.

Leah, You’ve posted about some very nice treats, simple but so do-able. I love the idea that Glad shared: “treating myself feels like a hug from a friend.” Such a yummy way to love yourself.
It’s so life-affirming to give yourself something special every day.
XXOO
