Taking a big step doesn't have to take you out of the house.
From the book:
#89 Spend Twenty-Four Hours In Bed
“The dictionary definition of the word “decadence” doesn’t nearly do it justice. Instead of “lack of moral and intellectual discipline” and “luxurious self-indulgence,” the entry should read: “Lily Signature Canvas Satchel by Coach” and “entire family-size bag of Doritos.” There’s a secondary definition I’d like to add—“stay in bed all day”—but I’m afraid it wouldn’t make it in. This one is so decadent, it’s almost unmentionable.
Here are some reasons why you could never, ever do it:
• You have a job, for goodness’ sake.
• You have kids to take care of.
• You’ve got a dentist/haircut/therapy appointment.
• You don’t have enough time as it is.
• You’d feel guilty.
• What would everyone think?
• You wouldn’t be able to enjoy it.
Really? Which of the following isn’t enjoyable? Sleeping late. Drinking coffee in bed. Actually reading the newspaper. Eating toast, with butter and jam, in bed (screw the crumbs). Starting a good book. Watching a bad movie. Eating peanut butter off a spoon. Painting your toenails. Napping. Watching Law & Order reruns. Snacking in bed (Doritos?). Reading People and Us Weekly. Watching What Not to Wear. Not moving a muscle for anyone or anything….”
