Do you have the things you want in life and are the things you want the things you need?

I've found that over the years I've let a lot of things fall away, including people, possessions, what I felt were needs but probably were just desires.

You may get to a certain point in life and think: well, here I am, this isn't where I thought I'd be when I was 16, but I'm surprisingly content with where I am and what I've got.

How I got to this point is a long story.

We all have a history, a life story.

Education, relationships, jobs, home - all milestones (or in some cases stones to fall over or block your way).

What do others feel about where they are now, how they got there and where they think they might want to go?

This will differ from generation to generation, I suspect.

  • Welcome back Debbie, it's nice to see you Blush 

    Well, I'm no longer sure what I thought I'd do or be. When younger, it seems to me that I assumed a destination, even if I had not much idea what or where that was. I think now, that I did a lot, in an intense quest to find that destination. 

    Parts of those things are part of me now, other parts are not. 

    I'm ok, I don't think I want more, because I feel fortunate to have what I do, and am. 

    Except another dog... I'd quite like one of those!

    That's similar to me, and I'm glad to hear it's true for you too.

    I thought you were getting a sibling of your present dog? Or a relative of some sort? Dog
