I didn't realize that, but wanting is being out of control. Which is scary.<BR/><BR/>A.S. - Whenever I write or say the word pink too many times it's the same way. Pink pink pink. And glad you got the purse as a present!<BR/><BR/>DCB - Thank you. It is, it definitely is.<BR/><BR/>Shannon - Thank you! And wow - half way - yay!<BR/><BR/>HBMS - Hmm. Interesting to think about it that way.Lemon Gloriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07280085058516960260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-19761543824093872052007-11-16T18:45:00.000-05:002007-11-16T18:45:00.000-05:00The pangs of the wanting wane a bit, once you real...The pangs of the wanting wane a bit, once you realize there's a science to it all. For me, invariably what I end up with, whether I actually wanted it or not...ends up being the best. When you can seamlessly make thing A, just as good as thing B, you end not caring what you get. There's limits to this of course but appreciation is the key. <BR/><BR/>Theres a bit of real world alchemy involved (as opposed to actual alchemy of course). <BR/><BR/>I always use friends and family as an example. You didn't know you wanted or needed them...but you most likely wouldn't dare change them if you got the chance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-30030332394174701472007-11-16T15:49:00.000-05:002007-11-16T15:49:00.000-05:00That is an excellent description.

Recently I wanted something -- a cute purse actually -- but it was at a craft market, I had no cash, and we had to get back on the road. I was really disappointed, but decided to use the opportunity to practice on letting go. It was good exercise. <BR/><BR/>Best part: by the time M. gave it to me the next day -- he'd snuck back and got it for me -- I had so thoroughly let go of it in my mind that I was completely surprised.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-40948294638878041292007-11-16T13:50:00.000-05:002007-11-16T13:50:00.000-05:00Jordaan's comment is great.

It's not living in the past exactly, just wanting as little change as possible. <BR/><BR/>Wanting if a form of being out of control. I need to be in control and like to know what's going to happen. All I know for sure is what has happened already in life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-21641559681486257882007-11-16T13:00:00.000-05:002007-11-16T13:00:00.000-05:004 Noble Truths of Lemon Gloria:1) Life sucks2) Wan...4 Noble Truths of Lemon Gloria:<BR/><BR/>1) Life sucks<BR/>2) Wanting makes life suck<BR/>3) There's a way to turn off Wanting<BR/>4) Lemon Gloria is one of the ways for life to stop sucking.Jordaanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611715369795181693noreply@blogger.com
