Guilty pleasures

It doesnt mean our happiness should hinge on buying that luxury,branded handbag that costs a bomb.Sometimes if we are content with the small things,a red flower blooming brings as much joy or watching a blue kingfisher flying across the serene lake. This morning,i decided to ramp up my outdoor gym workout by going to 230 reps on the ski machine,the rowing machine n an extra 30 rep really burn out my muscular strength.My finger joints were stiff and sore this morning so i massaged deep heat rub and told myself no pain,no gain.Should have listened to my body as i dropped the glass bottle of pesto sauce on the floor while queueing up to pay at the grocer.My fine motor skills has degenerated so i cannot twist and turn bottle caps that have a child proof button in a vacumn sealed bottle.Which stupid idiot designed it as you have to depress the button and twist the cap at the same time.im not too proud to seek help of younger people to open jars.sometimes feel like banging my head on the wall when the meat is sizzling on the pan and i cant open that freaking bottle of sauce. So instead of wallowing in self pity that i cant strum the 18 to 21 string classical Chinese zither anymore,i look at the bright side as i can bang the tank drum or sing to my hearts delight. today i treated myself to the european pastry that i have been hungering for.The guilty pleasure when you bite into flaky,buttery pastry is out of this world. Then went bookshop to hunt for a new art book when i saw a book on American poet Charles Bukowski.Hes really down to earth in use of imagery as he called his pet a motherfucker cat who nearly lost 9 lives.Leonard Cohen says he is a poet who can even bring the angel down to earth.he is the poet laurete of the lowlife in American society. im inspired by the painting workbook to try different n new techniques of painting with collage n lettering.
