Treat Yourself

Make each day better than the one before Promise yourself a dinner at your favourite restaurant Give yourself a gift of that sweater you had your eye on Little things that help make life exciting and interesting It's not selfish to treat yourself every once in a while It makes for a happier existence You'll find yourself humming happy tunes and smiling a lot So what if people around you think you've lost it! Keep 'em guessing and even add to the rumours By occasionally doing outrageous things Like sit-ups in the middle of the local mall And when security escorts you out to your car You keep singing those happy tunes and waving at everyone This advice is likely not good for everyone! © Jack Ellison 2015

The penguins kept me busy the last few days, negotiating for the Ice Fairy Princess. To be on the safe side we're selling raffle tickets to every other county around. They'll all win, naturally. Then she won't be tempted to stay long. We're making a calender of each winning towns' parade events, that will lead her away. The penguins can't complain if she doesn't stay long. After all we got her here. Then I'm going to pamper myself with a long winters nap, while Dragon cleans up the mess... LOL
