Over the top

"Really, that's more than enough."

The last time I said that someone was dishing creamed spinach onto my plate.  I really don't like creamed spinach.  Really.

But beyond that last episode, when did I last say, with all sincerity, "No, really, that's more than enough."

I worry about my own acquisitiveness; my desire for more without any real insight into what I truly need more of and why I might need more of it.  Do I need more free time?  more exercise?  more retirement savings?  more clothes?  If those blessings fell into my hands today, would I be more content?  A better neighbor?  More able to contribute to the well being of another?

What exactly do I want more for?     Who will that more serve?
