Personal Reflections

Personal Reflections.... me and my girls would have a good time discussing topics via email to pass the time at work!




Here are a couple of my favorites!
~~~~~~
What do you
relish without restraint? When you feel guilty about
pleasure, whose voice do
you hear in your head? How could you allow
yourself to enjoy more of life
guilt-free?


I relish the time i get to spend with family and CLOSE
friends... quality times filled with lots of laughs, memorble events, and NO
DRAMA! As well as the good talks we get to have when we are too busy too get
together! When I feel guilty about a pleasures that i KNOW im not supposed to
indulge in (lust and drinking and actin a fool) I definately hear my own voice
tellin my self "u know this aint right." Even more so, being a christian i hear
religous influence and it makes me feel SUPER gulity about encourageing those
things!!! If its something as simple as a piece of cake, i hear myself sayin
"maybe friut will be better for my sweet tooth!" Living as guilt free as
possible is defantely encouraged by living more "christ like" as well as living
a spiritually, mentally, and socially healthy and fulfilling
lifestyle!!!

"I gave myself up so completely to present desires
and pleasures that I
had no energy to waste on mere wishful thinking."
--Simone de Beauvoir


I see it as meaning, i surrendered SO MUCH into
my wants and needs (relationships we want, goals we have, lust we have, etc)
That the thoughts of them no longer put a sparkle in my eye :( Because i was so
engulfed in those immediate things, I had no energy to think about even better
rewards that I could aim for.

I can defenately apply that! working so
hard to get some immediate needs out of the way, when it comes time to think
about the future i get LOST at times and it frustrates 1) to see how much
further i have to go, and 2) that the things i am doing are controlling my mind
and my time not giving me time to thing about the bright side nor getting the
opp to think about things I WANT!!!!!
