I think it's time for me to ask, when I get in this obsessive place, what else can I focus on that might actually help someone and make me think as I lay on my deathbed - how did all that gorging on "things" help anyone?!?!?

This is not to pass judgement on anyone else, but to acknowledge that I understand the bewilderment of why, after all that looking and researching and getting, there is such a let-down...maybe on some level we know that perhaps there is a better, deeper, more meaningful use of our time and money, and maybe we feel a little self-indulgent.

I also venture to offer that since 9/11, we have learned that life can be tragically short, and perhaps we've on some level adopted the "if I don't get it now, I may never have it" sense of urgency.

Obviously, I have no answers but I find comfort in the questions of others. Thank you each for coming forward!

Almost like a shoulda, woulda, coulda syndrome, and then the second guessing!
