therapy

I have been thinking a lot about therapy. What is therapy? I mean, what do people count as therapy?  Or what do people use as therapy? Some people shop. Some people shoe shop (me). Some people smoke. Some drink. Some eat (also me). Some exercise. Some play or listen to music (once again, me). But, when do we go for therapy? Do some go to marriage counseling for fun? I hope not. What is it that makes us strive for that one thing that perhaps fills the ache or hole inside. Perhaps we have had a bad day and need something to cheer us up? Think about it, what do you reach for to make you feel better? Is it that smoke, those delicious chips or the giant raspberry cheesecake? Is it those delightful red shoes that match oh so well with that pair of skinny jeans? I encourage my oh so large audience (ha ha) to think about your own "therapy". Try something different next time. Instead of spending a hundred dollars on your fiftieth pair of shoes go home and try on all the ones you already have. Instead of digging into those chips go outside and run or walk instead. I think you get the point. Go do something else that is fun, do something different. You may find that there is something that is far more fulfilling than what you have been reaching for all these years . . . :)
