Settling for what I've got.

One thing nice about my life. The fact that I’m more or less unencumbered. Able to do pretty much as a please. I can even choose to do virtually nothing. Don’t even have to go out and earn a living. Of course, if I had a desire to be better off in certain ways – such as having more money – life probably would be different. I’d be more encumbered. More obligated to change the course of my life. Thing is, I’m happy. Just being alive and well.  And having my Italian true love. Some people are never satisfied. Never happy with their lot.  Always wanting more. I'd like to have forever. But I don’t fret knowing I won’t ever have it. I’ll settle for what I’ve got. Now. This moment. --Jim Broede
