Some sun appeared today with a light cooler breeze. I did a short walk to the drug store for bread and a prescription renewal. Being outside felt pleasant. I've been feeling rather trapped indoors lately. Later in the day, I had a great weekly chat with a friend. I would be nice to see each other in person, but a virtual call works well.
The intersection between wants and needs has very fuzzy boundaries. The differences are decidedly in the grey zone for many things -- like wanting and needing to feel better, for example. Others may be a bit more definitive such as wanting a million dollars but maybe not needing it to survive <smile>. Now, seeing people virtually instead of being physically in the same place could be both a need and a want. We are social beings after all, so being separated as we've been can create mental health issues. Yet, keeping in touch virtually can still help with our connections with the outside world.
Yesterday, I was reminded of a song that dealt with these two concepts.
Can't always get what you want-- The Rolling Stones
