Heaven

Posted by Lori Henry Jun 10, 2006

I went on about there being lots of chocolate and red wine, sex and dancing.

She told me that she would want to be thin (among other things). Now, this is a independent, confident, beautiful woman with her head on her shoulders.

But being thin was still at the top of her list of things to "be" in heaven. That makes me sad and angry- of all the things to wish for in a world that's a fantasy, and skinny is one of them? I would have thought the freedom to be curvy and still considered beautiful, but that's just me...

It took me by surprise and startled me, not so much because I haven't heard it before, but because I would have said that same thing only a couple of years ago and it makes me mad that I wasted so much of my energy thinking that way.

What would your heaven be like?
