December 21


December 21, 2011 Prompt:

Embrace - What guilty pleasure have you embraced this year?

I start each one of these posts perplexed as to what I should write.  I suppose I should start off naming my pleasures and then I should see if I feel any guilt with them.

I love to get my nails done, I love to sit and visit with Tammy, and chat with the other patron. I love  to see my nails transform into lovely little tips on the end of my fingers. This is a costly luxury but one that I have enjoyed for 9 and a half years. Ok after reviewing my post, I do feel guilty about this, but it has become a necessity!

Being a voyeur is another thing that I have began to enjoy. I think that Facebook is one of the best places to watch other people. Most of the time I do feel like I am just staring in through a frosted window. But I love to see what other people do, think and who they are friends with. I think its a great way to stay connected. A simple comment can lead to another and another and we are connected once again.

I simply have had the pleasure this year of not worrying every time I put something in my mouth. I use to calculate and fret and tit for tat everything I ate. I use to be obsessed with exercising and now, I eat and don't worry, I exercise and enjoy it. Probably not good for my waist line but there is a lot more peace in my heart about food and indulgences! I might have to go back to my ridged thinking again but I had a year of indulgence!

I like facebook for the reason of sharing my faith and who I am. If someone doesn't like my sharing they can 'defriend me'... it is ok.
It can be a wonderful place of ministry.
