The Test

I'm not a big shopper like some women I know. I don't really enjoy clothes and housewares shopping. Clothes drive me crazy - most don't look good on me, require dry cleaning, and/or cost way more than they should. I find it more frustrating than fun. Housewares just seem like a boring necessity.

But I am a shopper of a different kind. I like to shop for crafting items. Today I am accompanying a friend to a craft store for a sale they're having. My rule is no purchasing of anything outside of groceries, which means I can't buy anything.

This is like an alcoholic going to a bar with his friends on Friday night.

But since much of what I'm trying to do is stop grasping, I think this could be a good practice for me.

Peace and happiness to all.
