Wanting

Do you ever find that what you think you want, compared to what you end up getting, is never as great? That most of the time the gift of an unexpected ending is far better than the one you imagined for yourself? Even in times where you feel you've been cheated in the most immediate moment, but somewhere down the road, you have not only hit the smooth proverbial pavement, free of speed bumps, but your car has also transformed from a broken down 1987 Crown Victoria into a classic 1968 mint condition Mustang, the driving weather's perfect, you play soft rock from the radio completely commercial free, and now you have all the time in the world to cruise to your destination on top of the luxurious travelling style?

Wanting is good . . . it helps to teach us that what we can plan for ourselves is never so much better than what we end up getting.
