The verb to yearn is defined as: to have an intense feeling of loss or lack or longing for something.
While I have certain desires, I am grateful that I don't yearn for anything. I am at peace with what I have, who I am, and where I am...and with the balance in my life No small thing on these soon-to-end gorgeous fall days for which to be grateful.

Simple desiring rather than intense yearning, is perhaps something which comes with the greater wisdom and maturity of aging. What a significant and pleasant sense of release!
