Yoga Chickie's Attachments, January 2006
I am attached to, in no particular order (as evidenced by the placement of Diet Peach Snapple and my children well below the top five):
- Flavored coffee, black, no sugar
- Having what feels like "a good practice" each day (notice my desperation when one day it is not such a good practice)
- Blogging
- My children's continuing health, happiness and prosperity
- My continuing to feel well and happy
- The notion of finishing Primary Series
- Cadbury Dairy Milk
- Diet Peach Snapple
- Buying nice things when I want to
- The good behavior of Lewis the Bagle
- Fitting into a size __
- Feeling attractive
- The good behavior of my children
There is a difference between detachment and not giving a shit, between attachment and enjoyment.

What about the husban?
The list is non-exhaustive (for anyone else who thinks they were "left off). "Attachment" isn't the same thing as LOVE. Things we are attached to aren't things we simply "enjoy" or even "need". They are metaphorical handcuffs. I won't have a good day if Lewis has an accident in the house. That is attachment to his good behavior. I can't function without coffee. That is attachment to coffee. Maybe Cadbury Dairy Milk doesn't quite rise to that level, but I would have to examine it further, since I seem to get really cranky without it.
