100% of the time, all of the time

I have a new plan. I devised it last night while considering the things in life that make me happy. These days it's not hard for me to put my finger on what makes me smile & makes me feel relaxed; great. So in an effort to be 24/7 PMA, I found myself thinking about the things that rainbows & unicorns are made up of.

Though it has only been in my grooming regimen for 6 months, I love going to the barber shop. I have tried a handful of different ones, and upon finding the one that works best for me, sitting down in that worn chair of a bygone era relaxes me. It works 100% of the time, all of the time.

Back to my plan. Starting with my already scheduled trim for tomorrow afternoon at 5, I will make sure to get a haircut every payday. It is a small gesture to myself. Do something right, even if the day or week has been a sea of wrong. All I need now is to find a shop that will give me a hot shave and I'll be set. I'd like to be able to add that into my routine. Maybe every Saturday morning I get a hot shave after my pot of coffee poured over whatever book I'm immersed in. Ideally that shop would be walking distance from home. Hey, a boy can dream, right?

For now I'll stick to haircuts and the pleasure that is derived from sitting down and being asked "Just a haircut today?" and my simple reply, "That's all I need."
