Contentment

I’ve been thinking a lot about contentment lately. Trying to balance a desire to improve and succeed with a peace about the “here and now” is a tough one.

There are many things about my life about which I feel content. I love my family, my house is nice, etc. There are a few things that I would like to be better or “more”. I’d like to lose the last of my baby weight from Isaiah still (sigh) and this blogging thing I’m into now has me on an ever-pressing drive to improve.

A few more thoughts:

Contentment is a great virtue. Perhaps the best thing about it is the lack of attention it draws. Think about it…those who are truly content are usually quiet about it.
