Excess

Excess on occasion is exhilirating. It prevents moderation from acquiring the deadening effect of a habit.

~W. Somerset Maugham, The Summing Up

Sometimes, you need more balloons than you can carry...

A new book to consume, even if your shelves are full...

A larger slice of the decadent dessert...

Or possibly to add another shade of eyeshadow to the makeup drawer...

Or yet maybe just a big, bold scarf...

Ooh, this post makes me smile. I've definitely reached that point in the summer when everything's a little bit excessive (I blame all the mega-sales for setting things off). I think I need to find the other end of the excessive slope for a while. ;-)

I like it! Excess at least can do that, can take away mediocrity. I like the picture of the balloons.

I love the photos. A very clever way to show the world of excess.
