Now and Then ... #atozchallenge letter N @AprilA2Z

My theme for the 2017 AtoZ Challenge is "Daily Thoughts".

Each day I will post a thought that comes to mind. The first word of the thought will correspond with the letter of the day.

So here is my thought for the letter N

taken at the Cadbury factory in Dunedin, NZ

Now and then a little indulgence is therapeutic

Initially I thought about something philosophical and spiritual but somehow that didn't seem right. And then looking through my archives I came across the above.

We are forever striving to be perfect - the perfect weight, the perfect job, the perfect relationship. We are so caught up in the pursuit of perfection and the drive to get there is so great that we often forget that life is meant to be savoured and enjoyed.

And so a little indulgence now and then is very necessary.

A little indulgence now and then

Is a therapeutic thing

Cake and icecream or blobbing out

Or a nature walk in Spring

In the pursuit of perfection

We often lose our way

Need to stop and smell the roses

Indulgence will surely pay

~x~

How do you stop and smell the roses, what's your idea of indulgence?  Share in the comments below.

If you do leave a comment, make it easy for me and leave a link to your blog / post.

Thought I'd switch over to something new this Friday and found this meme which I thought may be fun.

So giving it a try. 

Friday Fives is taken from Friday5.org

1. What's something you recently learned how to do on a computer?

2.  What's something you recently learned in the kitchen?

     turn down the heat for the next batch of pizzas otherwise they burn to a crisp!

3.  What's something you recently learned about the town where you live?

     the first ever New Zealand Chocolate festival started today at the Inter Continental Hotel.

4.  What's something you recently learned from television?

      approximately every 18 months a total solar eclipse occurs somewhere and lasts upto a maximum

      of 8 minutes. (National Geographic channel)

5.  What's something you recently learned the hard way?

      trusting everyone is not a good idea. 

Share your Friday Fives too.
