"Please sir, I want some more." - Oliver Twist
I don't know why those words jumped out at me when I was trying to come up with a blog name. I'm a man of simple tastes and modest desires - easily amused, easily satisfied. Maybe it's because the humble way that Oliver asked for more. He wasn't demanding. He wasn't greedy. He didn't ask for something he shouldn't reasonably expect to receive.
It is likely that very nearly every person who has ever walked upon this earth has been led by some variation of that phrase. Many would leave off the "Please sir." Many would substitute "a lot" for "some." Quite a few would substitute "it all" for "some more." Even the most humble of us want more of something. Whether it's more of the material treasures of this world or more time, talent and treasure to serve others, it would seem that mankind was created with a desire to grow.

Musings on ... whatever. As most everyone else does, I want more. My big problem is, the "more" that I want tends to be a moving target - making it difficult to reach.

Hi, thanks for visiting my blog today. I popped over to see you and read your post twice. And I agree, we all want more. I suppose that's a good thing but does that mean , some of us are never satisfied, ever?
Hope to read more of your thoughts.
