Welcome to My Life

Reviewing 2013: Questions 8, 9, & 10

Do you feel the need to belittle others to make yourself feel better?

I can answer this question in one word and without adding anything to it: No.

Does money and status mean more to you than most anything else?
"Spiritual Newsletter (December 28, 2005)" 

Status is no big deal because I don't have any and I don't think I've ever had any. I seem to have gotten through life without it and I don't think those who have any type of status are any happier. No status doesn't mean much to me, it never did, and I doubt that it ever will.

As for money meaning more then anything else, well I would like to have more money. I could use more to pay the bills; however, there are other things in my life that is more important then money.

Do you envy another for their possessions, looks, talents, etc?
"Spiritual Newsletter (December 28, 2005)" 

Yes, I do envy others sometimes. I'm working on this issue, but envy rears its ugly head every once in a while. Right now, I envy people who can pay their power bills without having to ask for help. As soon as I get out of this house and out from under the depression that the power bill has caused then I won't envy people who can pay their power bills. I will probably find something else to envy when I encounter a different test, but that is in the future. At least I hope it is because I would hate to spend the rest of my life in this house worrying about the power bill.

I also envy people who are warm. It would be nice to be warm again. I would love to sit at the computer and type without having a blanket around my shoulder too keep me warm. I am wearing two sweat shirts and a coat and I still need a blanket to keep my shoulders warm. I don't know how Santa Claus stays so warm at the North Pole, it must be all that fat that causes his belly to jiggle like a bowl of jelly.

I also envy writer who can make their word count goal each day without any problem. There reason for this is that I'm having trouble making the goal. This does demonstrate why I envy people and the times I envy them. I will get over it as soon as I figure out a new writing routine. One that lets me make the word count, do the housework, and read without having to give up one or the other to complete a project, a story, or a poem.

Tonight, the people envy the most are those who are warm. I will stop envying them as soon as I get warm or as soon as I find a place that I can keep warm without having to sell an arm or leg to pay the power bill and keep the electricity on so that I can continue to write and access writing.com. If I can't get online and access writing.com then I experience withdrawal symptoms.
