7 Deadly Possibilities For Thought

Hello Lovelies!

Well it's Friday June 9th already and this half of the year has flown by hasn't it? This weekend we're in for temps in the 30's...YAY for you sun babies. The weekend was full of people bustling around enjoying the impeccable weather and the scents of BBQ's and sunscreen rode the air. 

Last week I asked a question about the 7 Deadly Sins and which one would be yours I had several people say Lust and surprisingly Gluttony.

So the definitions for the 7 Deadly Sins are as follows.

1. Greed - Wanting too much of something. 

2. Gluttony - Similar to greed, but gluttony is the action of taking too much of something in. 

3. Lust - The need to fulfill unspiritual desires (not just sexual desires, but this is usually what lust is associated with.) 

4. Envy - Jealousy; wanting to have what someone has. 

5. Sloth - Being too slow or lazy at doing something. 

6. Wrath - Vindictive anger; angry revenge. 

7. Pride - Being too self-satisfied 

Now at first I thought that my 2 most prominent were Envy and Pride but according to this list I could be wrong. 

Envy... yes I do envy those who are driven, ambitious and go for what they are after and get it without stepping all over people. Making smart choices and being proud of their accomplishments... and dancers legs, they have awesome legs!

Pride...well I'm proud of my own accomplishments and yet know I can do better, I take pride in what I do and I take pride in the raising of my kids but apparently that's not enough because I still Envy others so does one cancel the other out?

 Would it not be Envy but Lust instead in the way where I always desire something more or is that more like Greed?

Gluttony...when it comes to coffee...yes... 

Sloth...when it comes to laundry, dusting or dishes...hell yes...

Wrath...less lesser of my own evils but it's there...quietly resting until I need to lash out. Building and building until patience runs out. Tick, tick, tick...

It seems to me like there is a fine line and how does anyone not have at least one of these or all of them? Some are not necessarily bad things I guess it varies on the degree of it all really!

Just a little somethin somethin to think about as your week goes by!

Have a great week!

See Ya,

All Hail The Bean!

Do you ever have one of those days where you feel just...blah? Of course you do, I guess that was a silly question. So much work to do on so many different levels and trying to stay focused is really hard sometimes but my brain forces me into action because I do feel much better once something is accomplished.

Usually on a Monday there is a fine line between the "I hate Monday" feeling and the "It's just another day" feeling although without coffee it's a "Damn it all to Hell" day!

I joke about my coffee addiction but it is a serious thing! I'm trying to cut out my afternoon coffees, you know the 4 or so I will have between 3 pm and 10 pm. So last night after a couple of weeks of cutting those out I made the mistake of having 1...maybe 2 between 9 pm and 11 pm and could not sleep! My brain was rev'd up and ready for action. Not so good when you're up between 5:30 and 6 am and making Monday very, very sluggish.

I remember being in my early 20's and drinking pot after pot of coffee and still being able to go to sleep which still worked up until I tried to cut back and reduced the amount of caffeine and sludge in my system.

Morning's are a given, if I don't get coffee it's a total waste of time to speak to me because I'm simply not hearing you until I've been kick-started. It's all "huh's?", "what's," and "sure whatever's" until the first sip hit's my tongue and a grateful, relaxed and appreciative smile forms afterwards with a comforting sigh. You know that feeling like after Thanksgiving dinner and the happy groans while people either undo the top button of there pants or are even smarter people wear loose fitting ones afterwards while they stuff in the pie to top it off!

Well...now I'm hungry...

Some have told me to switch to tea it has more caffeine. Tea doesn't cut it.
Have a smoothie. You're kidding right?
Try the herbal method. What method?...of madness because that's what would happen.

Ever had a headache from lack of caffeine? Sucks...big time...

Besides I'm not trying to completely give up coffee just trying to cut it out after maybe...noon or 2 maybe 4, somewhere in there. Where was I going with this? I don't even remember but the lack of coffee first thing on Saturday morning is probably why it took me so long to realize a raccoon was trying to pet me when I let my dogs out.

My point on this sluggish Monday?

This is how I started the day.

This is how it ends up!

Have a great week guys!

See Ya
