Wanting.

Life is full of things.

Things people say, things people do.

Eat.

Talk.

Write.

And On and On...

What are the things all about?!

I care for only a fraction of them and yet. like today, so much more kept intruding upon the one thing I wanted.

Is it the same for everyone?  Deep down, I believe yes.

We get through the day with one thing in mind:  We are going to watch that show when we get home.  After we pick up, feed, bathe and soothe the babes, we will watch The Bachelor (not me, right now, and absolutely no judgement).  We will meet our love at our favourite restaurant. We will flirt.  We will order pizza and almost sign up for a cleaning service.

What gets me through the day: A surprise chat.  A text.  A good parking spot.

There is nothing like hearing from that person that you are looking forward to hearing from.

There is nothing like watching your favourite show after a long day.

There is nothing like a few glasses of wine to unwind.

There is nothing like waking up the next morning, like a warrior, slaying the day, like only you know how.

But, of course, in between, each of us is racing through the reasons.

Why are we running through this day?

Sleep.

The cute girl at the coffee bar.

That one compliment you've been waiting for from your boss.

It changes, and it's okay, as long as it keeps you wanting, keeps you seeking rather than weakening your resolve to be here, on this earth, here and now.

Sleep tight, dream of the wanting you were meant for.
