Are you a shoe person or a purse person? It's very sad but true, shoes and purses are my guilty pleasures. It's comforting to know, however, I'm not the only woman who possesses such obsession. In fact, it's probably quite normal for our population, except for a few outstanding individuals I know and admire, who have unsurpassed self discipline and self control to disregard material things. I continue to strive to become one of those exceptional people.
I try hard to reject the temptation of those things, but in my weaker moments, finding good pairs of shoes and a nice purse brighten my day. Until the next good find comes along, which haunts me at night.
It's hard to avoid material things because we live in a material world. It would be really hard to get around without shoes and purses. We can't all wander around in monk's robes, right? :) But maybe it would be a better world if we did... And maybe it's enough to find things that make you happy, and then you can make other people happy.
