Week Word: Desiderata

I chose this week's word, desiderata, which means 'desired things'. 

It got me thinking about the things that we want or need (often not the same things) and that feeling of longing for something that is, as yet, out of reach. But how yearning itself can be sort of bitter-sweet; how sometimes getting the desired thing makes you wistful for the period of longing and anticipation.




A little introspective for a Friday... I'm clearly in need of a weekend!

And I'm going to bounce the Week Word ball back to John to pick for us next week.
