EAT , PRAY, LOVE

No it’s not a book/movie review. I have read the book which I enjoyed and then saw the movie coz I am a Julia Robert fan and that's about it. What got me thinking was these are the 3 things which I do daily. I eat, pray( sometimes) and I can say I love a few people/things but is life really all that simple? Does these three things give me as much joy as they should?

I love eating and cooking, my two fav things to do in the whole world. In my personal opinion : Tasty and healthy usually don’t go hand in hand.. not for me. Eating is pleasure and you ought to pay the price for it. Weight gain or just the thought of it is the biggest price one can pay. The ohhh so nasty weighing scale is mocking me whenever I savor chips, chocolates, ice creams ( yummmmm). Sometimes I feel just thinking about food makes me gain a few extra pounds J.

Pray : that's a good one...
"Oh Lord please make this world a better place to live. Eradicate hunger n poverty and give us world peace" I sound like a beauty pageant contestant.. and those are usually not my prayers.
I pray to God to give me strength to go through another day of my life and on not so bad days I pray for my loved ones and their happiness. I try and pray for their good health , peace of mind and everyone’s well being and then realize all these things have become so materialistic in today’s world. So what am I really praying for? I have no idea

And now the favorite LOVE. I love my family, love my friends, designer bags, my new car, jewelry, clothes, perfumes and the list goes on. But what about the love of my life... ME? I am still struggling to fall in love with myself . “To love yourself is start of a lifelong romance” I read it somewhere> I need to rekindle that romance first to enjoy all other loves of my life. But falling in love with myself is complicated, hard and not going to happen anytime soon.

Three simple words EAT PRAY n LOVE are they really that simple???
