Morning Paul.

While there are things I would like to have, I'm happy with what I got.

That is so true, Paul... and increasingly I find I actually "need" less and less. The real secret, I believe, is to be happy with and grateful for what one does have.

Good morning Paul. Vernon Howard summed it up well. Took years to learn and still learning more. Enjoy your day.

Hmm, it seems that the older I get the less I feel I need, so perhaps I am on the right path to success!

I can not agree with this more and the older I get the more I realize this.  Have a wonderful weekend!

Hello Paul - the learning curve definitely varies by individual.  Some understand this concept quickly.  Others not so much.

We are at that age right? Experiences pretty much become the objects of our desire.

Already twice this morning I have seen this same message.  Must be something I should be taking note of, especially right now it seems.  Make it a great weekend.  Mark

Hi Paul-like Nina Hollander, Broker the older I get the less I "crave."  My wants? Good health, family, friends, and chocolate.

Kathy Streib hi Kathy...  a regular mani/pedi, haircut, and the occasional new handbag will probably stay on my list till I kick the bucket!

Your comment made me laugh, especially about the handbag.  😄

Well now that's an interesting quote Paul.  I've had everything I've needed for years....and what I enjoy is change and am in the process of several big changes around our home.  Love it!

Hi Paul:

Those are some wise words to keep in mind. I am finding I am wanting and needing less over time.

Those are really true words, Paul.  I have ventured away from thinking I need everything that comes into vogue and is fashionable.  I have tripped over generations of the latest things, and then given them away.  Sometimes you just gotta simplify, simplify, simplify.

Hi Paul,
I definitely have everything I need and am content. There are still things I plan to do, though. As for collecting "things", I'm pretty well done with that.
