So instead of thinking of one specific celebration for one specific goal, I will (for myself) start my own Celebration List. Here's my first few items: 1) Treat myself to a mani/pedi at the fancy hotel spa nearby 2) Indulge in a glazed donut (usually off-limits for me) without a smidge of guilt (but stop at just one donut). 3) Shop for a new outfit from a store that is not Ross Dress for Less or Marshalls. 4) Brew a cup of fancy loose tea, wrap up in a comforter, and watch a DVD, or Tivo-ed movie without multi-tasking (no folding laundry, etc). 5) Just read a book!!! (again no feeling guilty or calling myself lazy allowed). 6) Relax in my backyard. I'll add to the list as I think of more... Michelle,

I like your idea of having a Celebration List (even though your current celebration is not on there). So instead of thinking of one specific celebration for one specific goal, I will (for myself) start my own Celebration List. Here's my first few items:

1) Treat myself to a mani/pedi at the fancy hotel spa nearby

2) Indulge in a glazed donut (usually off-limits for me) without a smidge of guilt (but stop at just one donut).

3) Shop for a new outfit from a store that is not Ross Dress for Less or Marshalls.

4) Brew a cup of fancy loose tea, wrap up in a comforter, and watch a DVD, or Tivo-ed movie without multi-tasking (no folding laundry, etc).

5) Just read a book!!! (again no feeling guilty or calling myself lazy allowed).

6) Relax in my backyard.

I'll add to the list as I think of more…

OK, I looked my achievement in the face and said, "Achievement, you are getting a massage!" Yes, my achievement knows I've been SAYING that I'm going to get a massage for months, and my achievement knows that I even built it in to my 101 Things in 1001 Days List, but my achievement ALSO knows that I'm too frugal to normally follow through with it! There's a place I've been meaning to go to near my apartment that is tre cheap, and it's an expense I can be OK with. And while all the stress is leaving my shoulders, I'll think "Ah, sweet celebration....." Me first!
