Me too.

Today I was thinking about things I want vs. things I need. I'm hoping to move soon, so I've got money on the brain. Ran across this cute reflection.

Need v. Want, by Laurie Smith, 2003

I need to nourish, fuel and vitalize.
I want Finney’s chips and a patty melt.

I need to be hydrated.
I want to bob around with a margarita in my hand.

I need protection from the elements.
I want a century old Victorian on 10 acres.

I need a way to get from here to there.
I want a 2003 Expedition, white, Eddie Bauer package.

I need to feed my soul.
I want to finish this book despite the unfolded laundry.

I need to cleanse, refresh, and wake up.
I want to stay curled up next to him for ten more minutes.

I need to let her go.
I want to clutch her tightly to me forever.

I need to allow them the chance to fail.
I want to share the secret.

I need to visit my parents.
I want to tell them I understand.

I need to teach.
I want to educate.

I need to learn.
I want to know.

I need to know God.
I want to experience Him.

I need to acknowledge the passage of time.
I want to age gracefully.

I need to leave this place for another.
I want to have it matter that I was here.
