In the timeless words of Mick...

"You can't always get what you want. But if you try sometimes you might find...you get what you need."

Sometimes you need...
Five minutes of sunshine warm upon your face.
The scent of the sky just after a summer storm.
An unprovoked hug from a child.

Ripped jeans, horrendous tv and a bag of popcorn.
A bubble bath and a glass of Cabernet.
A good cry on a soft pillow.

To flirt boldly... if only to discover the outcome.
A night of debauchery with the girls. Or boys.
To know that you are loved, regardless of miles or memories.

To fight harder.
To fight smarter.
Or to learn to let go.

One single day without cell phones and computers.
To drive a winding road, fast and aimlessly.
Someone to beat up on.

A good book.
A good man.
A good bra.

Sand castles, bikinis and sunburns.
Your breath puffing out in the moonlight.
A blanket to burrow in, a mug of hot chocolate and a fireplace.

A "thank you".
An "I'm sorry".
To be heard.

A look.
A hug.
The sound of their voice.

...here's to getting what we need.
