Want. Need. We know the difference, yet we can be quick to forget. Be grateful. Enjoy. Be generous.
I am thankful that even though that which I have may not be all I want, it is certainly all I need. After all, as Steven Wright once said, “You can’t have everything. Where would you put it?” 😉
What are you thankful for today?

That is one of my many daily mantras: “I may not have everything I want, but I have everything I need.” It sure puts things into perspective and gives me another reason to be so very thankful.
Want and Need – such a big difference and so very hard for some people to understand. I am so very grateful that someone I loved dearly finally understood the difference between these two and realized how very much we wanted him with us. I want a lot of “stuff” but realize I need very little. I am so thankful that I too finally learned the difference. Thank you for reminding me of this.
Glad to hear it, Mary. Hope you’re well. Hellos from the office gang. Big hug.
