More Teabag Wisdom
And now it’s time for more teabag wisdom:
“Kissing is like drinking salted water: you drink and your thirst increases.” Chinese proverb
How many times do we do something that turns out to be bad for us? I’d guess – A Lot.
Here are just a few that I fall into:
Sitting on the sofa watching TV instead of getting up and exercising.
Eating one chocolate chip cookie when I know I can’t eat only one.
Rolling over in bed instead of getting up to practice yoga so I’m not stiff for the rest of the day.
Now, another teabag reminds me:
“The purpose of life is to enjoy every moment.”
Somehow these two teabags seem to be in conflict with one another. If I’m enjoying myself as I watch TV, eat one cookie, or get a few more minutes of sleep is that bad? No. Is that a purpose in life though? No – maybe just a little laziness. Yawn. It’s Saturday afternoon. Time for a nap.
So, what is your day looking like? By the way, this Joyful Heart stained glass is being auctioned off at a concert to benefit the non-profit organization Resounding Joy next Saturday. Check out their website. They train volunteers to bring music to seniors and children in need.

Sandy,
I like both quotes. I had lunch today with a friend I haven’t seen much of lately, so we had a nice visit. Then I came home and blogged this afternoon.

I think there can be a balance between guilty pleasures and enjoying moments. If you don’t over indulge, then you can enjoy your ’sinful’ moment and still feel good about yourself for the rest of the day. I’ve tried to balance my writing and my family time. I’ve learned that I CAN write without neglecting them and they CAN find things to do on their own when I need to/want to write. No guilt. Just pleasure.
