In my world, strawberries are in season;
babies try new things;
and I was reminded of the difference between want and need.
There was something that I really really wanted, but I didn’t get it. Normally, I might get a bit upset…perhaps even a little jealous, but this time I hoped that the person that got what I wanted needed it. A few days later, I got something that I really needed and a Rolling Stones song seemed to fit the occasion because
You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometimes well you might find
You get what you need
What’s going on in your world?
And now your Friday Fortune Cookie
(don’t forget to add “in bed” at the end, if you are so inclined):
Be grateful for what you have.

Food for thought. Want vs. Need. Little known fact about me: I don’t like strawberries. Don’t want ’em.
Hugs to you for knowing that you get what you need… love the pic of luna pie and her strawberry!
A A1 fabulous picture there. It is amazing how many things there are that we want but in reality there is little that we really need.
strawberries are a need…haha…used to live by the strawberry fields in florida…and you def cant always get what you want..
Love strawberries…..wants and needs…I so listen to that these days! I used to want everything and never consider the need…now it’s a need only basis…living with less…but I always want shoes!
That strawberry looks HUGE in the kid’s hand.
I used to work at Wimbledon Tennis Club each summer holiday when I was a student. I ate so many strawberries then that I can’t stand them now! Shame.
I want a new cap, but I don’t need one. Or do I?
Oh btw My blog is open again. Thanks for your support. 🙂
Good comment about want vs need. Those strawberries look yummy!
Oh yes this is something I really need to keep in check. Hard one and not to be jealous is always on my list to do better at 🙂
I need some strawberries now. NEED!!
Jumpin Jack Flash! this post supports my theory that good advice can be found in the lyrics of songs. Sometimes though I can’t get no satisfaction. great post and funny too
Thanks, I NEEDED that: both the delicious photos and a reminder about wants versus needs.

Now I want a damned strawberry! LOL That looks very good!
Love the photos! I often want things that I don’t need at all. Why?
Nothing better than a fresh strawberry 🙂

Very thoughtful! There is indeed a world of difference between want and need.
Wonderful lyrics, huh!?
I usually give myself 24-hours…if I still think about how great it is/was, then I’ll go get it. Out of site-out of mind reigns 99% of the time, thankfully. 🙂
The song is perfect. I have far too many things that I don’t need. I should purge some of those..
I love strawberries. I wanted it and I got 2 packs today. Hopefully, what you didn’t get before, you’ll get soon enough.
Deep.
I had a department head who always put those lyrics at the top of the request form for the classes that we wanted to teach the next school year.
Very true! Very very true…and words of wisdom from the Rolling Stones? Que mas se puede pedir!
You are a woman with great wisdom, Mami. <3
There are a lot of things that I want. Needs makes me think of the basics: strawberries, shelter, and water. Um, I’m in need of a strawberry! 😉
