Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not;
remember that what you now have
was once among the things you only hoped for.

Life is a story, and I am a little part of it.

Sounds a bit double Dutch to me – surely what you have now you probably desired and hoped for previously lol
Cathy, you got it in one!
Be happy with what you have… and maybe happier if you de-clutter.
Mike, before I married, Mammy advised Jack not to stand in the same place for too long or I would put him in the bin (I was known for throwing things out)! I think he took her literally, ’cause he was always on the move!! 😆

I am in the process of getting rid of many things that I don’t need any more and I certainly do not want to add new things to clutter my life.
Same here. I have a large box waiting to be taken to thedump ( recycling centre). That is apart from my usual kerbside recycling of household items.
This post seems to be sending our thoughts to the clutter we’re ready to shed. 😉
Without a shed to put it in! 😉 Sorry, Nancy, I could not resist!
Some things I have now I never hoped for, and some things I hoped for never came to be.
I have a hole in my stocking! 😆 Thankfully the days of wearing tights are no more!
So true, and a good reminder!
Recent power outages due to adverse weather conditions, were a timely reminder of how dependant we have become of modern technology.and instant access to everything.
