Life is full of little pleasures, little treats: a rest, a break, a reward. I am not even close to being a workaholic. Work has never been my priority. I enjoy work, and I am not lazy, but I work to live, not vice-verca. The beer and the nuts reward is just one of the many ways I chill in order to keep as calm and relaxed as possible.
Chilled is not my normative state. I'm inclined to be a worrier, and a stress head, but as I sipped my Boag's draught from the beer stein my son bought for me when he was in Germany, and chewed on those crunchy, salty nuts, I was thinking about nothing except the pleasure those things were giving me.
Your once-a-week reward sounds delightful! Since you go to the gym, you can afford it. I have a tendency to reward myself too. Sadly, I'm not a gym member and only go out a few times a week to walk for an hour or so. Enjoy your beer from the German stein & have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lexa. I think its necessary to self reward, so I'm glad you do it too.
DeleteDoes anyone remember the Nobby's nuts ad that called them Neer Buts and Palted Seanuts? I loved that ad.
ReplyDeleteNo, but I do remember the slightly cheeky slogan 'nibble Nobby's nuts'
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a wonderful, small break. It's better not to be a work-aholic anyway ;)
ReplyDeleteExactly. work to live, not live to work.
