We know we may not "need" many of the things we want, but our eye draws us in anyway. <BR/>I have a similar type of quote on the bottom of my blog page: "If you haven't got all the things you want, be grateful for the things you don't have, that you don't want."

At this stage in my life I find I am drowning in all the material things I just HAD to have at the time and now it's wearing me out to sort through them and give them away. I believe it was Getty or Rockefeller who said he was the richest man in the world but also the most miserable.
