I want it all.....NOw

I wants 

I have the “I wants” and I have it bad. It just can’t be ignored.  In my little mind it has sort of become an epidemic.  That is only because I have let it.  My “I wants” seem to rule my life and leaves me wondering, “ what is the fine line between dreaming and coveting?”

I want skinny thighs, not tater tots.

I want long fingers, not those of an ompha loom-pa.

I want to know where we are going to live, our house is set to close April 4th. 

I want to focus on one goal instead of accomplishing 1/8 of a few goals. 

I want to create from my heart while still having a successful shop. 

  

I want the UPS guy to slow down while driving on my street.  

I want normal hair not this mess of want-a-be dread locks that is starting to come in a silver streaked brown.  

I want to be a flower farmer. Near the beach.  With a large cottage.  And a really great area to write. 

I want to understand English grammar so I don’t feel dumb when I write. 

I want to give up control. Still I look for it anywhere I can. 

I want to get over the death of my dog but see him everywhere I go.  

I want to have more time with my kids while they are still children.

I want certain intangible resources.  

I want to see a funny movie.

I want to sleep thru the night for more than 6 hours - every night.

I want Chai tea to come in decaf.

I want to be a vegetarian (shocker).

I want a cream color shag rug that stays clean.  

I want a clean house or rather the WILL to have a clean house.  

I want to be organized but loath following rules.

I want to wear leggings and tunics everyday - they are so forgiving. 

I want time to invest in everyone as much as they deserve to be invested in. 

I want confidence.

I want to travel without being a afraid to fly. 

The list could go on for days and at times might make me look like a very unhappy person.  The truth is I am happy its’ just that contentment might be another story.  I think there is a fine line between using that discontentment to dream and act. Or using that discontentment to devalue this wonderful place we call life.  Have I let my “I wants” list get in the way of my “I am thankful for” list?
