I operate a 24hr emergency response business with my husband in the UK. My treat is to take time EVERY morning to have our breakfast together. We sit in our easy chairs -face to face- and have our ritual 3 times porriage pass. More Love, continued health, and happiness. Then after our breakfast is eaten, we discuss the pans for the day ahead while he holds my feet. Then before we get up we each share or anticipated positives for the day or reminise about the good things from the day before.

This is SO my kind of post but it fried my brain trying to capture and list some of the things I see as treats. So many daily joys, so little time! One of my treats is reading blogs like this that inspire me; I used to do more of it but I've had to cut down on that as I could get truly swept away or feel like I can't publish posts with similar themes because they've been 'done' recently. That makes it more of a treat now when I do visit! Pizza - there you go... One snuck in. janice’s last blog post..How to Choose the Desires that Guide You

Treating ourselves well. This is something we tend to forget due to all our other concerns. But in order to be effective in everything else, we must be whole first, and we must treat ourselves well. One of the lessons I learned recently is by accepting and still loving myself despite my mistakes, even despite the not-so-nice actions that I was able to do. We treat ourselves well when are able to give ourselves unconditional acceptance and love

Hey Tess,

Love Thich Nhat Hanh’s quote. He’s a very poetic soul. My treats are boring – FOOD! What food exactly changes from week to week but a full stomach always makes my day

Your list of sensory delights is wonderful, and it already contains many of the things I love myself, so I will just add: Thank you!

Hi Tess .. after 2+ years of my Ma of 88 with three major strokes, she can talk and think (to a point – but better than most about the things that interest her) .. I’ll put down some of our ideas .. togetherness .. (at the moment she’s in hospital – she’s well, but just needs something restored and then we can get back to the Nursing Centre .. a private room & visiting at any time)

Taste: a cup of tea (she’s nil by mouth); raspberries on a fresh summer afternoon with Cornish cream; champagne .. is her tipple now – she said to me today at the hospital

Sight: she can read words, but loves cards and letters from friends and family .. hence my positive letters to elicit as many of these as possible .. now being formatted into a blog .. descriptive triggers for discussion; fresh flowers all the time – anemones (Cornish)

Smell: scented flowers – sweet peas, roses, narcissi, mahonia, daphne, jasmine

Touch: holding hands; a regular kiss and hug; comfort

Sounds: – peace and quiet; a reading from me .. her cards and letters, my positive stories or letters; talking of old times – Cornwall, our childhood, her childhood, her visits to South Africa, time now in Sussex with the family ..

It’s a time to celebrate her life, give her as much as is feasibly possible, care and give her laughter for her eyes, face and heart & peace to go forward with .. – to be positive and we are …

Thank you for reading, listening and caring ..
