I was thinking the other day about Christmas and gifts … and how our needs get less as we get older.
Then I realised that’s not precisely true. Right through life, we always have the same needs. We need air, water, food, shelter. To have a good life we also need sunshine, warmth, a bit of comfort and activities that interest us and expand our horizons.
The rest, as much as we love it, pretty much falls into the ‘wants’ category. Even chocolate. Sigh.
