It was a good day today...the sun shone, the birds sang...and I found a bargain. I've been looking for a comfortable recliner for quite some time. Never could seem to find one that pleased me. But today....eureka! There it was...sage green in color, comfortable to sit in and a great price.

It now sits in my room, making everything else look shabby by comparison. Now I find myself making a list of other things I want to get to bring the rest of the room up to the standard of the new, sage green, comfortable recliner.

Which just goes to show ya...the more you get, the more you want. That old phrase: If I only had........, I'd be happy" just doesn't apply. That leads me to the age old question...what does it take to make one completely happy?

Is there even such a thing as complete happiness? Hmmm.

I am very content with my life for the most part. There are one or two areas that could be better, but for the most part its a good life.

I live in a comfortable home, I eat well, I'm cool when its hot, I'm warm when its cold. I have pets who love me and kids who treat me very well. I have clean clothes to wear and cigarettes to smoke while I'm drinking my hot cup of coffee. I enjoy the company of friends, I laugh on a daily basis and I have the opportunity to study mother nature up close. There are more blessings, but I'm sure you get the idea. With all this going on for me...I still wanted a new recliner.

The old one was okay..it wasn't broken or dirty or worn out. I just wanted something different. My question I guess, is when is enough enough?

I am lead to believe that its not the conquest, but the journey that brings us pleasure. What do you think?
