vacation lesson: Wants, not Do's

So far this morning I've read Five Super-Foods You Should Eat Every Day and Six Ways to Become a Creature of New Habits, and downloaded one new app (Lift) to help make new patterns stick. And it's only 5:15 am.
Clearly, vacation-thoughts are lingering.
On the first leg of our long, long flight home on Saturday, I made a list (naturally) of Things I Want.
This is so different from my usual kind of list -- To Do's -- and was entirely an expression of what my recent vacation had brought up for me: a desire to be fit and strong, to spend more time with animals, and to help my little family with their French studies. A little all over the map but all completely connected to what makes me feel good and truly happy.
Wants are so much more fun than Do's
