Or just the ability to turn big old dudes in bed and help grannies who've fallen and can't get up. What brought this on? Well first and foremost, my husband and I looked at the road ahead of November and realise that our budget of necessities is short by at least $400 and we have $20 left till my next pay. Also, the killing frosts arrived and the idea of not being able to go outside and pick greens and weeds from the garden really hit home. It also made my small town feel much smaller and more like JAIL. I even had the priest laugh during confession when I confessed to cussing behind the wheel because I've gotten out of New York but the New Yorker isn't out of me. Anyhow, I suddenly felt repulsed by own greedy desires to have a netbook, a new iphone and the latest fanciest healthfoods. Shopping and buying that stuff on credit is just like kicking the can down the road. You get to the end of the road and meet a big landfill of empty cans.
I got sad. Really sad. My husband had a mini-breakdown because he's already self conscious and you know how men get when they think they're not providing. THEN I GOT ANGRY. I GOT REALLY RILED UP. I said to myself,
" Everything is a choice. With great faith comes great responsibility! " A priest told me that one time. Also, I am reminded of a verse in James: You ask, and receive not; because you ask amiss: that you may consume it on your concupiscences. I decided to enter two bodybuilding contests next year and run the Long Island Marathon. Instead of looking yet another stressful nurse job, I decided to make ME my job and put my Ann Wigmore home study to use. I'm also a member of iVault 4 and want to be a biggest loser. That's my own greedy aspiration :D
