Need > Want

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes
You just might find
You'll get what you need

Sometimes it feels like I'm drowning in all the "things" I think I want because apparently I'm supposed to already have them. Not just material possessions, but also a strong political opinion (Often I feel like a big "flip-flopper" because I'm still sorting out how to line up my values and politics with a party... not convinced that's even possible.), a relationship, an idea of where my life will be in five years, the opportunity to travel abroad, and a social life that mimics a show on the CW. Yep, it feels like I'm treading water in the middle of a hurricane.

When I take mental step back from that shortened list of what I need want, and just focus on living my life in a way that honors who I'm called to be, then I find I get what I need. Though what is needed doesn't always look like what is desired, life makes sense when I get what I really need. And I feel happier. Interesting how that all plays out...

Blessing #93: Lavender scented cleaning products
Cleaning products that smell like lavender encourage me to clean more often because they just smell so wonderful! I am so blessed that lavender scented downey also encourages me to do my laundry frequently. My hamper stays emptier, and I always have clothes to wear!
