CONTENTMENT
Life is ephemeral…it goes by quickly…at times this could be cause for resentment…which is why, I imagine, we tend to cherish our moments of contentment.
These are easy to spot in a person…you’ll find them usually sitting quietly…in one place…watching what is going on…with a smile on their face.
They’re using this moment of reflection with friends and family near…to capture a moment of contentment…before that moment disappears.
It could be sitting in their favorite chair…with their family all around them…you’ll see them close their eyes for a moment…as the joy of laughter surrounds them.
It might be walking in the woods in the morning as the sun’s about to spread her light…or hand in hand on a deserted beach in the middle of the night.
It’s a feeling they get in the bottom of their heart…one they hope will never stop…like when their sons or daughter call them Dad…or a grandchild yells…PopPop.
You’ll see them looking around at any moment…feeling blessed they’ve gotten so old… they’re able to remember earlier moments of contentment…as new ones, before them, unfold.
How blessed are we as humans…to have these moments…sitting in one place….watching what is going on around us…with a smile on our face.
Blessed to enjoy the moment with friends and family near…and blessed to capture that moment in our memory…before that moment disappears…
Blessed long ago in our life to have made this simple discovery…
That the more moments of contentment we have captured…
the more contented we will be.
