On New Year day, I smiled and smiled to everyone I met and gave some best presents for many people. I gave different wishes to family, relatives, friends, colleges, boss, the security guard and the housekeeper and etc. I wished all customers best luck and fun during the glorious occasion in Thailand.
But ”never me…” I never do those things to myself.
I never say happy New Year to myself.
Never buy a new year present for myself.
And never wish any luck to myself on New Year day.
And I think others too. (?)
Why? I started wondering.
Why you just think about others and forget yourselves in this special season?
Because its greeting season which people normally express good in mind?To others only? Why don’t you express best wish to yourself too?
Hmmm…..this evening I started to think twisted.
When I walked pass the bakery shop, I bought a costly piece of chocolate cake.“Its new year present for me” I said. After a big bite, I felt so good! Then I started smile to myself really, and then it became a happy New Year reality. Like a crazy but I kept saying “happy new year to me” out loud I my mind and I felt even more cheerfully.
Why? (^^)
I tried to find an answer. I did get some presents, some cakes, smiles and various best wishes from some people….yeah, I’m cool with that, so lovely. But the thing I did in this evening even more cool, why?
Is that because…..
when I think I should do something special for myself, it means I start to realize to love myself (more)? When I feel like wanna do best to myself, it makes me happy (more)? Yes, it’s certain.
Probably, you think different, but have you ever say “Happy New Year” to yourself and done special thing in this occasion to yourself?
If no, it’s not too late.
