This is a toughie. To me content looks like a sleeping baby, a child snuggled in a lap, the smile when a project is completed. Content is a feeling that I have done my best, that when I look around I realize how lucky I truly am. Content is family and friends. Content can be just me and a good book.
Content can be elusive, the trick is to recognize and appreciate all the good surrounding us.

Content is hard to define and I agree, it can be elusive...I to like your examples. Thanks for sharing, Abby

Seems simple, just to be content...but it is the simple that trips us..or at least me...up most.

Hi Abby the feeling of contentment is like flouting on a cloud. Wish it were possible all the time.

Yes, it is a wonderful feeling, I think it starts with being in the moment.

Loved reading this, Abby! :) It is a tough one, but you sure seemed to do a great job. Elusive is a good word for it. There are so many ways to be in that place, and sometimes we don't know it until after the fact, for sure!
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying reading these. Thank you for sharing. Many hugs,

Content is not always what we expect or even hope for...but it is a good place to be.

I think the trick is to appreciate all that you have each and every day.
ReplyDeleteYou summed it up very nicely.

I agree that it's learning to appreciate all we have, and not striving for more! The grass isn't always greener!
ReplyDeleteLove this Abby!
If we could only remember that sometimes that grass may look greener, but that is because it has lots of crab grass...

I love the association with the sleeping baby! To do your best and recognize that you have done the best you can is truly something to be content about, I wholeheartedly agree.
