Are we humans ever happy with anything? I’m going by my own history and other humans that have shared different parts of my life span. Many times in my life I have wanted something very badly whether it was a toy, camera, a piece of clothing or whatever and then when I got it maybe I used it a couple of times and then decided I had to have something else pretty badly and wouldn’t be content until I got that also just so I could discard it too.
I have noticed this pattern in many people during my life time and have come to the conclusion that it’s more fun to anticipate than to actually possess. There are exceptions of course, like my computer which I use all the time and love and the same can be said of Bill. Not that I use him, but I certainly do love him and love to spend time with him and I can’t ever imagine wanting to discard him or getting tired of him.
I wanted my scooter pretty badly, but since I’ve mastered riding it I have decided I want a real motorcycle now so I can go faster and be a real cool Nana instead of a wuss that rides a sissy scooter. Better watch my mouth or typing rather because I’ve seen many men riding scooters and I certainly don’t want to offend them. Bill loves riding my little scooter because it’s like a toy to him after this monster.

I have gotten better with age though as far as learning to be content with what I have instead of always wanting something newer and better except for wanting the bike of course and I don’t count that. I see that as a new learning experience because I’ll have to take the test and safety course and learn how to shift gears, so there’s much for me to learn. I would love to ride the freeways with Bill and take a trip on our bikes, that would be so cool.
