Contentment

[Furryanimal]

What do you need to be content?

 

[Olivia]

I used to think the greatest thing in the world would be to be content, which at that point would be to feel nothing about the world ever again. Like who cares any more. But to feel content about it all, to finally in my opinion is to not care about anything at all. I don't want to be that anymore. I want to care and to do things about what I care about, or else I might as well be dead, which will be soon enough anyway. So why not take chances and really live aside from watching TV and reading the best sellers. I want to take chances in life and and love, no matter how old I am or get to be.

For me, contentment is that sweet spot between too little and too much.

 

[Lara]

Love, Laughter, and Freedom

 

[IKE]

I'm pretty happy with the cards I was dealt.

I've got a good woman that loves me.....a roof over our heads.....clothes on our backs.....food in our bellies.....for the most part we're both healthy.....we're debt free and have a dollar or two in the bank.

That sounds about like me. I just wish he would clean the garage.

Content

I usually don’t know till I get there

Complacent gets in the way sometimes

I’ve had bouts where the day was right, the meal was right, the project came out good
Those days are filled, well sated, with satisfaction, happiness, contentment being the dessert, the savoring, the looking back over the day, with a good cup, my woman.

Guess I don’t need much to be content

But whatever it is, it needs to be right

 

[Wren]

General good health, comfortable home, no money worries

 

[moviequeen1]

I'm content that my apt complex is in same neighborhood where I grew up,my health is good,I'm able to continue doing my volunteer work,seeing and helping my friends,no money problems Sue

 

[MamaT]

I'm content being able to retire and having enough money to live comfortably.

 

[CeeCee]

I would be totally content if my husband was still alive, that would make my life almost perfect. I'm comfortable and surrounded by a loving family, so can't really complain.

Less back pain would be nice and a little more motivation but I'm working on it.

Sometimes I get too content and comfortable...in my recliner.

 

[RadishRose]

Being with family.

 

[Buckeye]

I'm with Olivia on this one - being content is an invitation to stagnation, which is the last thing I want.

YMMV

 

[Toomuchstuff]

I'm content with my husband and my dog.

 

[CeeCee]

I'm content with my husband and my dog.

Forgot to mention my dog....don't know what I'd do without him. He brings joy to my life...so funny and clever.

Well said.nthego:

Being with a good woman, eating a great meal, having great conversations, playing a tune with talented, fellow musicians, taking a terrible looking tree and pruning it to perfection, working a back-breaking day and then coming home to my happy dog who will share a meal with me, reading a great book in a comfortable bed in a room that's cool and dry. More, I'm sure, but the preceding came to mind, first.

 

[Lon]

Given my present health and living conditions I would say I am content and will be even more so if and when my hearing improves.

 

[jujube]

Knowing someone "has my back", enough money to live comfortably, the health to do what I want, the smiles on my grandbabies' faces when they see me. That's "content".
