interesting to me is the fact that most of us feel most of these at some point on any given day.
today i can say i hit all seven - and today was actually quite a nice day...
i think we all do our best, and we're all just human.
Pride: I looked super cute today, and said so...
Envy: I wished for something I can't have and shouldn't want.
Gluttony: I took one extra bite at dinner when I was already full. Oh, and I let myself sleep an extra 17 minutes.
Lust: This is on most all single people's mind at some point in the day, mine included.
Anger: I got annoyed with someone for a few minutes...it passed though.
Greed: I thought about winning the lottery, and how easy life would be...
Sloth: In some ways, I didn't take very good care of myself today. Oh, and I didn't get all my chores done on schedule.
