To be really candid, I am fine how and where I am right now.

But this doesn’t mean I didn’t yell  and shake my fist at the world.

This doesn’t mean I have always been on bended knees in gratitude and expectation.

This doesn’t mean I never questioned the events that happened in my life.

This doesn’t mean all my decisions were wise and right.

And still to be completely true and honest, even when I am fine right here and now,

there is still that yearning to settle for more…

And why not?  

I am finding it is actually not that  bad to want to have everything you desire.

It is the fuel that drives people to do their passion, to deal with life , and to live as they should.

Whatever works for you.  Without hurting or inconveniencing those around you.

Love. Sex. Money. Fame. Power. 

Or Kids. Family. Education. Fitness. Business. Your garden and crossword puzzle.

Salon day and food trips.  Massages and movie dates.  Flirting with a  stranger, talking to a long-lost old friend.  The dream wedding.

Shooting studio-quality pictures.  Day at the beach.  Your bug and stamp collection.  Trips abroad.  Fancy shoes and frilly dresses. Cliff-diving, bungee jumping or just surfing the net.  Heeding your destiny’s call. 

The list goes on and on.

The point is NOT to be not content with what you have or,  who you are this moment.  

But to appreciate and be grateful for those and also realize that the best may still be on its way…
