wishing, wanting, having

I wish . . .

Je désire . . .

to want what I have . . .

A colleague shared this, one of his primary resolutions for 2008, with me, and I think it’s worth adopting. May this be the year I learn to want what I have, even more than I do now, and to appreciate how very lucky I am.

And in case you’re interested, the photo above is one I took in May 2005 of an art installation in Paris’s Jardins du Luxembourg at the fountain commemorating Eugène Delacroix. You can find out more about the artist, Isabella Valla-Paga, here.

    I know — isn't it?! Seemed worth linking to again and reminding myself to strive in that direction.
