@denmarkguy - total gold my friend! These two sentences beg repeating in my mind:
"Contentment is a pretty awesome thing to have; that sensation that you actually like your life, precisely as it is."
AND
"And therein lies perhaps another fallacy we have been sold... that being happy is a state we can/should expect to sustain all the time."
Gold. Gold. Gold.
Thanks for sharing your contentment, photographs and insights with us <3
Thank you @consciouscat!
I at least try to live up to a favorite quote, generally attributed to Gandhi:
"Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony"
In this case, I prefer to use contentment.
