"It's not having what you want, it's wanting what you got..." ~ Sheryl Crow, Soak Up the Sun

How many times have we said "if only I could lose this last 5 pounds of baby weight, had those shoes it would make my outfit, those window treatments would finish this room, that new car will make me happy and complete?" Too often we long for more, more, more and fail to see what we already have.

I like new clothes, shoes, jewelry like the rest, but at some point we should look around at how very fortunate we all are. Friends, health, family - those are the "things" that matter most. Time with the ones we love means more than the anything.

Want what you got and find the joy in being content.
