This week’s episode was inspired by a conversation with a dear friend as we were planning something special to do together, and it led me to  some questions…  Is it the longing for what we desire that gives us satisfaction, or in getting it? Do we lose the art of longing as we get older? If so, do we miss it? What do you do when your partner is no longer interested in longing to do things, and you are?   Should we hope that we don’t actually get what we desire so that we don’t lose that sense of longing?  I’m longing to share my thoughts with on all of this and I hope you’ll join me and share with others if you think it would resonate.
