This hit home with me this week, on so many levels. I just spent the day shopping at the mall with my son yesterday. I hadn’t been to a mall in a while, and was amazed at how quickly I was instantly drawn to new things I didn’t need and never knew I wanted. I was right back in that place where, when I was I a child, my mom would buy new clothes for me, and indulge me. Not that she was over the top about it, but I definitely got the “shopping as reward” thing. And there I was yesterday with my own grown son, tempted to do the same. I realized how dangerous it is to shop sometimes.

@Nicole – WOW – I’m not flaky, I’m *renaissance*! Nice…

I’ve been thinking about this just today (well, not just today).

2 needs:

One – lightness and accepting that this is a part of my character (at the moment).

Two – a deep-seated longing for peace and happiness. Huh. Bit more to see there.

Thanks for the thought-food.

I understand the unmet needs part of it for sure. What I don’t get is the shiny, new aspect. Maybe because I haven’t experienced anything like this in a while or I’m just missing the point. Will give this more thought… any suggestions would be great.

I’m addicted to my bright shiny new object called my marriage. The funny thing about having something shiny is that it makes you think that you don’t need to care for it, polish it up, move it to new places so it opens up new ways of being looked at and related to.

I think my marriage is bright and shiny, but needs lots of tlc to keep it so.

That takes a lot of work!
