Advice from a stranger

When I went to the salon to get my hair done not long ago, I met an older woman.  We started talking because I was admiring her bracelet.  She said "I got it from QVC, my son doesn't like me spending money"  Through our conversation I learned up her husband of more then 45 years passes away less than a month ago.  Her children don't want her wasting her money on frivolous things.  She looked at me and said "Honey, always love yourself first and treat yourself to the things that make you happy"  I never did get her name but what she said has stuck with me.  I finally looked up and found the bracelet online.  I am contemplating getting it just to remind me of the sweet lady and her words.
