ENVY

He own things I lack.
She wore sequined heels, I want.
Why I lack a lot?

He’s not more lucky.
I don’t need those leather boots.
I don’t covet things.

I have to confess that, while I don’t envy others’ “things”–I’m terrible sometimes about letting admiration of character or personality traits slide into a kind of envy… It’s so ridiculous, really, but there’s my genuine-authentic moment for the day 🙂

It’s not a frequent issue with me, just sometimes I get hard on myself, wishing I were kinder, more gracious, more tolerant, more forgiving….on and on 🙂

Exactly. Sexy isn’t big cosmetic boobs bursting from their blouse or miniskirts barely covering hidden treasures. Sexy is a confident woman. 😀
