I Have Dish Envy

It's not good to covet.

Is it coveting if I want my own,

not hers?

I hadn't realized my preoccupation with tableware

until the day I noticed I had 5 sets of dishes!

And actually, now that I'm looking back, I do believe

I got up to 6 sets before I came to the belief that it was

bad to have so many and gave one set to Shanna and

sold another set in a garage sale. 

They were purple.

(The set I sold)

I miss them.

What was I thinking!?

The set I gave Shanna came from Germany.

In our luggage.

They have purple in them.

I don't miss them. 

I have visitation rights.

So, doing the math one would surmise that I am in 

possession of 4 remaining sets of tableware

and one would be right.

I think we should all be open to change. 

Nobody should be rigid.

We should reexamine things from time to time.

I DON'T BELIEVE ONE CAN HAVE 

TOO MANY DISHES.

I'll deal with my covetousness or lack thereof

another day.
