Wants Vs. Needs ~ a Question


I don't know about you, but my list of wants is a mile long. Unfortunately the list of needs is far longer. :(


My question for you today is this: My dear daughter has "assumed possession" of my bike. I no longer have a bike to ride other than an old one of Mike's. I am 5'2.5" and he is 5'10". Does not quite work... So, on to the question...


~ If you were "bikeless" would you consider that a WANT or a NEED?


Basically, I'm looking for data to back up my thought that it is a neeeed:) heh heh!
Peace.
Trish

    Give me the luxuries of life and I will willingly do without the necessities. - Frank Lloyd Wright

    A bike that fits is a necessity!

    Depending on the finances... you could get a used bike that fits at a garage sale -- NEED.

    If money is no problem then get the bike you want new -- WANT.

    Need! It will really help with your fitness without all the pounding of running. I just got a road bike, and it is changing my life and making me a better runner. Get the nicest one you can comfortably afford--it's definitely worth it, but fit is the MOST important thing. You can't ride your husband's!

COMMENTS CLOSED!!! I'll be back later with a new post to share the winners :) Thanks to all who entered!! ONE WORLD-ONE HEART I'm proud to announce my One world-One heart giveaway!! This is my first year and I think it's way cool! A Whimsical Bohemian is the hostess for this amazing event and I "pirated" the follwing paragraph of info about the event from her: "The original idea behind this giveaway event was to bring bloggers together from around the world who may never ordinarily meet. It closes the gap of the blog community and enables us to interact, discover new and wonderful people, and in the process possibly win a prize or many prizes along the way. 2007 had roughly 85-90 participants and many connections were made because of it......friendships that are still going strong.We had a strong showing the first year for sure, and then in 2008 we had just about tripled that number.This is more than wanting to win something.......that is only the means.....

Dreams...

I have lots of dreams.  They include everything from sheep to road bikes to my dog actually listening to me... I also LOVE to take pictures.  I mean LOVE .  Sometimes I go weeks without taking a single picture. Weird right?  Why not do something I feel that passionately about, everyday? Here are some of my most recent pictures: I live in Wisconsin and feel blessed that there are so many beautiful things for me to take pictures of.  When you're obsessed with barns and farm animals like I am, they're but a country road away! I'm going to slowly try to find myself again.  For the hundredth time.  I am sorry if that is all I write about here on this blog now, but hey - blogs are journals of a sort.  They just happen to be public ;)  Trish
