MEMORY -
Pete was uncomfortably surprised with a gifted massage for his birthday. Mom felt like it did wonders for her body and thought Pete would enjoy the treatment. Since Pete had never had a massage before, idea of getting naked in front of a total stranger left him perplexed and extremely nervous. He thought mom was taking him on a tour of the facility. He knew she had something up her sleeve once he heard from the front desk girl "Peter ...... are you ready for your massage?" Mom smiled and waved goodbye as Peter ever so hesitantly followed the girl into the massage room.
He came out like a sac of potatoes and smelling of mixed oils. He grinned and said "I got to wear a robe and sit in the spa! The massage was amazing. I enjoyed it .....maybe a bit too much, had trouble rolling over!" Mom belted out in laughter. It just wasn't something you would hear out of Pete. The comment totally caught her off guard and left her laughing the entire drive home.
APPLICATION -
Throughout a conversation I had with mom, we got on the subject of Pete and his massage story. After we shared a good laugh, I was motivated to treat myself to a day of pampering at the local spa. My massage was wonderful and ever so peaceful! I giggled to myself after I heard the therapist say "Okay, you may roll over now" thinking of Pete and his spa story.
REFLECTION -
Pete learned something that day ..... getting naked in front of a stranger isn't as hard as some things can be!!!! LOL!!!! Today, try something new ..... even if it makes you uncomfortable. You might surprise yourself and actually enjoy it, maybe even a little too much!
