The Newest Thing

Whether it’s the latest flavor of your favorite sandwich cookies, the newest compact disc (CD) by your chosen artist, the current series book is out by your much loved author, you got the dream position you’d always desired at your place of employment, or the most up-to-date piece of clothing, hairstyle, or furniture that you have longed for has now become part of the total you.

The “got-to-haves” we build up in our minds often turn out to be a large disappointment when we finally receive them. The “desire to acquire” is often half the fun. Can you relate to any of this? Find things that have no expiration date on enjoyment. Some things like writing or volunteering have never lost their emotional high for the many years I have been delighting in them. What about you? Can you think of something you could partake in that would have a steady rate of pleasure without the peaks and valleys of your “desire to acquire”?

Whether you are a blogger or not (see The Blogger), this is a high tech method of journal (or a diary) use to get your feelings out. (As you can tell, I love it.)Blogging allows me to revamp what’s on my mind until it is just right for those I wish to share it with. Of course, who you share your blog thoughts with is your choice. Hopefully, everything you read on this weblog meets my directives of inspiring you and testing what you consider. It’s always a safe bet to find your gratification in God. People may let you down, but the Heavenly Father is as consistent as the seasons that eventually occur.
