INDULGING IN COLOUR AND JOY.
I went to the Natural Growers’ Markets today and when I came home, the week’s topic had been posted. I haven’t gone for indulgence in food, alcohol or decadence. Across a crowded market, I saw this woman indulging in colour and hooping and joy. The children loved her and so do I.

THE YAAN : Well – I am taken by surprise again. I don’t much like many of the challenge pictures so far this week. Sounded a very motivational topic to me too. Last week with a simple word like DOWN brought out some really top shots. This week – well so far it’s a bit saccharine and predictable. So it seems to me tonight anyways I had best go seeking some shots of my own that truly sum up INDULGE and sometimes the images that come later in the week have more oomph to them. Maybe I will look for the negative side of indulging. Or something sinister.
I’ll take a quick look at sayings about INDULGING and see what they bring to mind.
FROM FRANKENSTEIN
The Creature: I do know that for the sympathy of one living being, I would make peace with all. I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot satisfy the one, I will indulge the other.
AND NOW FOR SOME NEWSWORTHY INDULGENCES.

I have now paid more attention to some of the posts and FRIZZTEXT’S tango images reminded me of a picture from the 1970’s.
THE ENGLISHMAN AND THE AUSTRALIAN GIRL.
I SHALL SAY MORE ABOUT THIS LOVE AFFAIR AT ANOTHER TIME. TONIGHT THE PHOTOGRAPH CAN SPEAK FOR ITSELF.
GOOD NIGHT ALL.

I’m glad, that my tango images
reminded you
of an own picture from the 1970’s,
featuring yourself:
THE ENGLISHMAN AND
THE AUSTRALIAN GIRL …

I begin to understand (German is my natural language)
that sometimes it is better NOT to indulge,
as Shakespeare once wrote:
indulge or not indulge, that’s the question…
Oh well said. Excellent way to see it.
Indulge usually has a slightly negative implication in English. Your post made me think of the wonderful indulgences we can have, especially the deep emotions and senses.
And, even yet, I dare not let it languish,
Dare not indulge in memory’s rapturous pain;
