Dear Friends,
Last night, as I kissed my cousins goodbye, I felt as if it were the end of my holidays! Spending time with them brought my spirit back to life; with Body more able (12-hour sight-seeing, with people almost half her age), Vanity more contented (loves going out) and Mind stimulated by "new conversations." Now, if that isn't an eye opener, I don't know what is!
This morning, a few hundred dollars lighter and more than a few pounds heavier, I'm already pushing back against my old life (completely forgot what promised God, yesterday)! However, I have cause to celebrate! A wonderful friend took pity on my clumsy attempts to restore the temple where my mind resides, and gave me the most amazing birthday present — an hour of her husband's time.
11:00 - took a shower and put on the longest, loosest gym gear available in the closet
Vanity was not going to let a tall, handsome fitness instructor see her bulges!
11:40 - Vanity was not going to let Body act old and disabled, in front of the tall, handsome instructor, either!
11: 45 - While Vanity and Body quarrelled, Mind remembered an anecdote. A very longtime ago, a woman on death row refused to receive absolution until she had managed to scrape the wall (with her fingernails) for enough white powder to dab on her blemishes.
Vanity figured, if a woman on death row can go to all that trouble for a priest, she is within her rights to tell Body to suck it in!
13:35 - feeling great, very successful workout — gotta get meself one of them tall, handsome fitness instructors
41 more days left to honour Body!
