When you spell stressed backwards what do you get ? -- desserts. Someone sent this to me by whatsApp message, and I find it interesting when one considers just how many people reach for snacks or indulge in decadent desserts when they are feeling stressed.
Stressed or not - from Christmas Eve to New Year's day, I will indulge myself with a few treats which I have abstained from all year. These include - milkshakes - (haven't had one in at least three years) ,ice-cream, my favorite chocolates and cookies - and I would definitely add a few Dunkin Donuts if I could find that brand here.
What special treat have you not tasted for a long while? -and how do you de-stress yourself?

@Kandae11 Yes, it is quite expensive so I don't buy it very often. If I leave it unopened I can leave it unopened (duh) but once I open it they'll all be gone in a couple of days. While it sits there I can anticipate how nice they're going to be. People are funny, aren't they? Or is it just me?

I sit with a cup of coffee and just breath and I eat treats all the time in small portions so I really can't think of anything except perhaps some of the treats my mom use to bake and the coffee walnut cake in England that I love so much.

I find walking is great for de-stressing, especially in a beautiful park.

I am growing closer in my walk with God so I haven't felt stressed in a little while now and it feels amazing!
As for desserts...I'm not much for them, but I do love butter pecan ice cream and I haven't had that in a long time.

I never thought about that, that reversing the word stressed ends up spelling desserts :)

A lot of the time I shake off excess stress by coming on myLot and talking with my friends. I don't know of any better way to do that...
I LOVE homemade bread but my doctor told me to quit making it every day or two because it was going to kill me. I did stop making it... until a few weeks ago. But I only made one batch of rolls and we ate those so slowly that about half of them started growing mold. I threw them out.

Haha talk about donuts. My daughter came here last evening and they brought some donuts with them, I have not had one for yonks so they were very welcomed indeed! A little indulgence every now and again is good for the soul!
