We're all addicted to something...
Some go the obviously negative path and become addicted to drugs and alcohol. Others, like Oprah, are addicted to food. So am I. But that's a whole other entry. I've discovered that I'm also addicted to something else. Instant gratification. It's the reason why whenever I'm feeling down (ONLY when I'm feeling down) I like to clean, or iron my clothes, or wash dishes. I get to see instant results. It's a relief to see that shrivelled up, wrinkly shirt suddenly become as smooth as a baby's bottom by just squirting the kitchen maid and running the hot iron on the shirt's surface. I'm not patient like some people. I get tetchy waiting for money in the bank to grow. I become kranky thinking of having to plan and plan and plan for a project. I just want to get it going so that I could see the results. It brings me grief sometimes because my addiction distracts me from seeing the big picture; the grand scheme of things so to speak. I'm supposed to be able to think strategically and plan for my future in the long run. Not the short distance ahead. But I'm glad that I haven't become so shortsighted to join Windlifund. Like some people. Muehehehehe. May you (yes, you know who you are!) wait for it till my cat turn into a sheep.
