Searching for happiness on the web
Today I felt rather "blah"...perhaps it was the holiday pounds that I had packed on, perhaps....
So I decided to search the web for a quick fix to my "ick" mood. Found a pair of Louboutins that I had been watching for over a year at a 1/4 of the original price. Then found a gorgeous pair of Manolo's in a fabulous periwinkle suede on sale. The old Deborah would have clicked on "add to cart" immediately without a second thought, however I knew this would be reckless spending, and these shoes, along with the several other unworn designer shoes would lie dormant in their dustbags in my closet
My attention then turned to dresses (naturally) and I found a breathtaking red dress on topshop.com, and then a stunning pair of red shoes on bloomingdales.com that would compliment the dress perfectly--and could be delivered just in time for my bday (this Friday). I got such a buzz that I ALMOST purchased without hesitation, but then I remembered I have numerous dresses with tags still hanging in my closet. So with much hesitation, I decided not to search much further for happiness through material things.
Instead I looked at old pictures of Maya and my doggy Mykonos, listened to old music, and thought lovingly of my grandparents who are no longer with me, and in doing so, I found happiness....within.
