The Seven Deadly Sins........

Before I go and soak in the bath and read more of 'The Glass Castle', I wanted to write about something I had been thinking about earlier....I can't remember why it came to mind...but it did....

The Seven Deadly Sins and which are a part of my life!!!

Lust: I'm not one to lust after anyone famous or anything....but I guess I lusted after a Kitchen Aid Mixer for years! But I can't say I lust after people.....

Gluttony: Hhhmmmmm greed.....I am greedy where chocolate is concerned...I don't like to share at all...and have been known to hide in my room to enjoy a bar so no one asks for a bite....I would feel bad saying no but worse to say yes lol...so I am greedy about things like that.

I am also greedy when it comes to Lloyd......I don't like to share him with anyone.....I don't like anyone to have his attention :)

Sloth Ha!!! I am TERRIBLY lazy......I love my bed...love sleeping, love curling up to read.....love relaxing in the bath for hours.....love not having to cook dinner.....I love having nothing to do :)

Wrath: I have a nasty temper...I have Mars in Aries in my birth chart...my temper can flare very easily and very fast.....but often calm down quickly afterwards....a bath helps :) When I get mad just leave me alone and I will calm down.....the more you push the longer it will take!

Envy: Ooooh envy! I envy Heather (Hello Heather - I've missed your comments!!) her moose and her American passport!!! (one day...one day!!!)We get the occasional moose here but its a common occurence at Heathers home!

I can't think that I envy anything else or anyone else........

I have lost a friendship through envy though.....not so much because of the friend but because of her husband and his issues with envy......but then they were very much 'keeping up with the joneses' types so maybe that was for the best. Although it hasn't done them any favours as they have terrible debt! Envy can do terrible things!

pride: Pride....hmmmm not sure about this one......I'm not too proud to apologise if I've made a mistake - not that I EVER make mistakes (lol) - I get that from my Mother ;) I am confident and assertive but I don't think I'm arrogant.....I hope not.....I'm proud to be British, but I'm also happy not to be living there! I am proud of my family and my home and how far we have come together over the last few years......I am VERY proud of Lloyd and how well he has done in his career!! Not bad for someone who didn't go to college!!! And I'm proud that we have been friends for 18 years. I don't think I'm overly proud though....oh maybe I am sometimes....but I am very grateful for all we have (emotionally, physically as well as materially)- gratitude is important to me. I also like to see gratitude in others - I don't like people to take things (or me) for granted......(yes I am STILL miffed over the thank you that I did not get last year). Pride is a confusing subject because its a very personal thing as to how you perceive it.....even if I don't mean to be overly proud some people may see it as arrogance....who knows...but then people choose to feel the way they feel so thats their problem really......as my ex was always telling me lol
you choose to feel that way - and you can choose NOT to!


I'm rambling :) So the seven deadly sins......what part do they play in your life?

Edited to add : Gluttony....well I just spent a divine evening soaking ina deep hot bath, reading a wonderful book and eating FAAAAAAAAARRR too many mini eggs....so um need I say more?????? ;)
