WANT BOOK The idea of a want book is interesting. It reminds me of a 30 day list. Here’s part of the post Want by Ali Edwards to get a better idea. -Danny I decided to start a little book that sits right below my computer monitor. Easily accessible. And tangible. A home for all these wants. And something I can take along with me to remind myself of the things I have wanted (and I can add things like dimensions + such for larger pieces). But what I am really working on is not having to have things right now. Or maybe even at all. I am working on holding off on buying stuff. So far I have found with this little book system that I am often satisfied simply by the act of writing it down. And then time goes by and maybe (often) the want goes away. It is helping me remember that I really already have everything I need. The wants that do stay around seem a bit more worth it after the wait.
