The no sale sale

"Within minutes a few more shoppers had trickled in - but there was no sales madness in sight."

Not surprised really. It was icy cold in Adelaide this morning and staying under the doona, having a nice, warm breakfast would have been more attractive than bargain hunting before work. We have started to get our priorities straight and we are not reacting to marketing and commercialism. We have realised being with people and looking after ourselves is important. We are learning being run ragged on top of extraordinarily demanding work place conditions  is not what we want. We don't think of being away from work as down time. It is our time. We are reclaiming our lives, our priorities and our agendas. Sales are good, there is no doubt about it...but not compared with a snuggly bed on a cold work day.
