I like that quote. I have a friend who lives that way and it seems to work for him. It's not the easy way but it's sure the way that offers more options!
Something I work on or play with is to keep my eyes open for what I "want" in some form that is not how I defined it.
Example: I'm fortunate enough to have one horse. Two would stretch my budget. But I did "want" that. A friend offered me her big, older quarter horse but I didn't have it in my budget, so the deal we made is "she pays all his bills, I do all his care, and occasionally ride him".
Had I stuck with the original definition "owning" - this would not have happened for me, and it ticks the list: rideable, good natured horse that I can afford to take on. I'm also good at caring for semi-retiree horses, it's good exercise and gratifying, and the horses are nice company.
It takes some effort to apply that but it has worked a few times.

do you live in or near the Wallowa mountains?
in reply to 4woody
Indeed I do. Chief Joseph Mountain is about 3 miles from the house; Wallowa Lake about 1 mile.
