Contentment is right here and right now no matter how many dishes are in the sink. xox
ReplyDeleteContentment is having time to exercise and craft and not have the power shut off(like it was today for 4 1/2 hrs). Contentment is knowing your loved ones are safe n' sound. Contentment is
ReplyDeletelooking forward to a happy evening with the ones you love! Contentment is finishing a swap, that is difficult. Contentment is finding online blog

ReplyDelete(I had a confusing blog post...I was in Tahiti ten years ago, was in Palm Springs for my anniversary last week...lazy and quickly written post...sorry! Well, more sorry I wasn't in Tahiti again! lol)
ReplyDeleteOk, for contentment, here I go: (I love these "think about it" posts you do!)
1. Laying in a hammock at The Parker in Palm Springs on a private patio with my hubby as we both read good books.
2. Knowing that I have a job that I USUALLY love, knowing that even when I don't love it, I will love it again.
3. Watching my children love each other. (this is my number one thing probably)
4. Getting in my old car and knowing that it will run and that it is dependable and that I am not even tempted to replace it.
5. Having a super clean kitchen.
6. Having clean sheets on my bed that are no less than 400 count. 600 would be my preference. (totally snobby of me...so hate me for it if you have to, the sheets are flippin' nice!)
7. Good tunes on my iPod while I paint.
for me right now contentment means feeling full of life, love, friends, family,, good food and creativity.
ReplyDelete.. being happy in this moment, just as it is.
ReplyDeleteContentment is.....having rain, a yak on a hill, mouldy fruit, a bad dj, awful staff and food I couldn't eat but still being happy on my wedding day because I was with the man I love, the children I adore and the family and friends that are the closest to me :)
ReplyDeleteMicki x
Red shoes were not brought at the weekend but 2 pairs of pretty pink ones were though ;)
... being at peace with your life and all its twists and turns
ReplyDeleteI love this photo!!
For me contentment means being able to recognize that I have everything I need, all of the time.
ReplyDeleteThat no thing, person or new pair of shoes will fill the voids.
Of course, this is a difficult task, that must be practiced, practiced, practiced.
Hope you are finding contentment in your heart, dear one!
...being surrounded by friendship.
ReplyDelete...knowing I am where I need to be. Right at this perfect moment.
...feeling contentment embrace every part of my body. Lumps,bumps and all.
...READING YOUR BLOG AND SAVORING EVERY WORD AND PHOTOGRAPH AND FEELING YOUR LOVE, SISTAH!!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteDoing all you can do and being satisfied and happy with what you have accomplished.
ReplyDeleteContentment is being in the moment, accepting life as it is but also striving to grow and evolve. That's the Zen answer but...Sometimes contentment is also a piece of chocolate-mocha cheesecake, a hot cup of tea and a great mag (O, International Artist or Artful Blogging)...:)
