Pamela’s story resonated with me regarding the “wants” list. After our second daughter was born, we moved into our second house. I felt that it was our dream house at the time. But after settling in the neighborhood, I found myself wanting a bigger house, like all my new neighbors were wanting and doing, using this house as a stepping stone to bigger houses (McMansions). As luck would have it, we never did move and I am grateful that we settled in and made this place our home. We raised three successful children and have a family business that our son is running. Who knows how our lives would have changed if we had chosen the bigger (not necessarily better) house. Be careful what you wish for. I agree - The best things in life are not things.

What did the explorer say after finding water in three locations in the Sahara Desert? "Well, well, well."
