More time, so I could do more to help others, more money so I could use it to help the mentally ill and those with addiction. There are so many things I want, but few of them are "things" or "trinkets" they are bigger. So yes, I want more, but more for all of us, not just me! And I'm content with that. But, if you could figure out how to get me to the beach for the day, to recharge, I wouldn't turn that down!

Life is too short to be competing with the Joneses. I want to be able to stop and smell the roses and appreciate what I see and hear around me, after all the best things in life are free.<br /><br />What a better place the world would be if we were all content with having 'enough'.<br /><br />xxDebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14933494199087059715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-17649451247119726592016-03-09T09:02:46.041+08:002016-03-09T09:02:46.041+08:00that's where I'm finding myself too Sheryl...that's where I'm finding myself too Sheryl - just slowing down long enough to get off the bandwagon and appreciate that I don't need more - I have more than enough already and I am more than enough already xLeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623420015695351280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-79848147316560223272016-03-09T09:01:37.664+08:002016-03-09T09:01:37.664+08:00I'm a bit the same Corinne - it's good to ...I'm a bit the same Corinne - it's good to have things to look forward to, but they shouldn't consume our lives (or our every waking thought!)

I've been blessed with the life I have and have never truly wanted for anything. I've always been grateful but something clicked when I said it to myself.
