hi, rhino-it was weird to read this cuz i was just thinking about it. i don't spend like some do, but i spend more than i intend and that's the real point. for me, it seems to help when i spend when i haven't been sleeping. i have a very wise health professional who tells me that if you try to deny yourself something totally, you'll lose every time. I do better if i just give myself limits. for instance-i only have $50 to spend on silly stuff this week. i won't spend any more. then i pull it out in CASH so i can't use cards or checks and then don't carry those. it doesn't always work, but it works better than trying nothing peace. i know it's hard. Well behaved women rarely make history.
Thou canst not disturb a flower without the troubling of a star...from "Troubling a Star", by Madelaine L'Engle...we all affect one another by our words and actions...it is our choice whether to do so purposefully and positively, or carelessly and hurtfully...may we all bring to one another the peace that we seek...
