Is this lust? It set me wondering about other people's most happy moments.

I find the odd thoughts pop into my head whilst driving. As far as lust goes it was the usual teenager sort. I've always been happy with my lot, usually the best of the best is unattainable so i always save up and buy stuff. People look down their noses but i'm not the one worrying about the repo man. I've had very little finance and i'm debt free now. Keeping up with the Jones's is bad. <br />Our biggest lusting these days are yellow reduced stickers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-63722982958702020232013-06-30T21:20:37.567+01:002013-06-30T21:20:37.567+01:00I agree with heleng above.

As for me, I do miss walking as rolling in a wheelchair is not the same, but I am on the look out for interesting things to do all the time.ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376645220662546020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-31913066054195852242013-06-30T18:48:17.033+01:002013-06-30T18:48:17.033+01:00I think you have a lust for Life, Ilona.

The only thing I "Lust" for right now is to get my legs back, I have as far as I can reflect never craved or lusted after anyone or thing, Peace is high on my list after a a couple of bad marriages both peace in my life and of the world would be fantastic. Right now I am counting the days to having a hip operation, (17th July will soon be here) mind you I saw the anaethatist last week and just let me say this old girl might be LUSTING for him soon hahahaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-36337103638246559182013-06-30T17:02:00.105+01:002013-06-30T17:02:00.105+01:00Hmmm, now my dad used to say that people who talke...Hmmm, now my dad used to say that people who talked loudly had a lusty voice, easy to see what he meant by that. I grew up in High Wycombe, which is all hills and not much flat, so I still have a sturdy pair of legs, but don't use them nearly enough. No, I don't lust after walking, never did, it was just something you did all the time. Just occasionally I really fancy a wee dram of something special, but it's not really as strong as lusting after it. Other than that, I'm pretty laid back about everything - at my age I've been there, done that, got the T-shirt.Albedohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04093271297403073329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-9543803232336191792013-06-30T14:21:23.201+01:002013-06-30T14:21:23.201+01:00I must be a lusty walker then- I find when walking...I must be a lusty walker then- I find when walking about I spot all sorts of little oddities that amuse me or flowers that I think pretty etc. As they say the devil's in the detail- that's why I so enjoy blogs like yours because they also give me the chance to "see" things in other parts of the country.<br />ArilxArilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447764056767139963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-35383701573019895562013-06-30T14:18:03.440+01:002013-06-30T14:18:03.440+01:00There is a little lady on my walking trail ( in th...There is a little lady on my walking trail ( in the u.s. there are hiking/biking trails but not the footpath system that there is in the u.k.) she is 84 and walks 8 miles a day. She was knocked over by one of the spandex crowd but only suffered a few bruises and is back walking.<br />It is not if but when you become doddery as we all will succumb to old age and infirmity eventually but until that day - keep on trekking !<br />I saw this gem in the paper the other week:<br /><br />"Walking is the diet without denial, the medicine without prescription, the exercise without equipment, the vehicle without the pollution and the therapy without a couch".<br /><br />I have things I am passionate about but I cant say I really lust anything. I think lusts put your life out of balance and we should perhaps aim at moderation in most (not all) things. lizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17345707661431587475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-56666077390645656252013-06-30T13:43:33.268+01:002013-06-30T13:43:33.268+01:00I lust after walking by the sea, or a river, and n...I lust after walking by the sea, or a river, and not having to go home after, but back to the caravan to a long hot shower and glass of wine and nice homemade diner.<br />Pink and white marshmallows, its been months! The odd doughnut, again months! <br />A cold stormy winters afternoon, old black and white film.<br />A long walk in the snow, not so long ago!<br />And a big plate of carrots and celery with a tub of houmous! <br />You made me think!

The truth is that you take all your baggage with you when you go anywhere so if that is the case... then I'm stuffed! Would that be a good or a bad lust I wonder?Jane Le Galloudechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00517114561049964427noreply@blogger.com
