on wishes

When we finally get a wish granted.... Is it as good as we hoped? Do we bask in the warm glow of our happiness? OR do we just notice we've got a long list of other wishes waiting to be wished?
- Meridith Grey "Grey's Anatomy"

As I listened to this quote at the beginning of Grey's last week, I realized how often we don't take the time to appreciate and enjoy when good things happen.

So rarely in life do we take time to celebrate our successes, accomplishments, answers to prayer, and dreams that come true. Instead, we find ourselves always wanting more. Praying for the next thing. Hoping for circumstances to change.

Never content.

I don't want to live life always wanting more. I want to... bask in the warm glow...
