Abbie gets a massage (unfinished)

Abbie was always in good shape. She was a sensible eater, she went to the gym several times a week, she was attentive to her health -- probably all better and with more care than most women her age. She felt good for it, too. Her energy was high and positive, her spirits were strong, and she kept a bright outlook on life.

All that said, Abbie (like anyone else) had days of stress, days of tension, days in which the burdens of life were a lot. She didn't complain, and she never would paint a picture to anyone that her life was somehow so much more difficult than anyone else's. But when things were a little harder on her, she would sometimes treat herself to a massage.

There were two options near her house. One was a salon that offered manicures, pedicures, and foot massages. The other was a full spa with options for partial body and full body massages. Each offered such wonderful relief for Abbie on difficult days, and she never felt that she made the wrong choice regardless of which she picked.
