most of the time
i would think of my condition
and how unlucky i am
to have no hope or solution
no lover
no goals met
just homebound
getting all upset
but then i think of my family
and how i am lucky
to have them and God
who care about me
and that's just enough.
How lucky you are James to hold contentment in your heart. Happy Sunday

So true - can't argue with that... However we are we can count our blessings...
ReplyDeleteAnd from my own experience of life to date (and as one who has been fortunate to travel a lot too) I can say that most of the happiest people in the world I've ever met have had very little... And some of the richest folk (materially at least...) have almost been, without exception the most miserable and messed up people I've ever come across!
Adjusting perspective can brighten a day. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is simply perfect ... cheers.
ReplyDeleteWe still say grace most often, and when it's my turn I frequently include the words "Thank you, Lord, for enough". Thank you for reminding me once more, in these troubled times, the value of enough.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Bev. Enough IS a feast!
DeleteA family and God....well...who's won the lottery then!
ReplyDeleteIf only more people would consider what they already have rather than wishing for more which may not be that good.
ReplyDelete:) This is a good write, Humblekind.
ReplyDeleteI love (and believe this). There is much bad in the world, much to be frustrated about... But is always some good, especially if we look for it.
ReplyDeleteThank you...
ReplyDeleteMore than enough....what a blessing!
ReplyDeleteThis is wisdom. My Dad aways taught me: happiness is not a place you arrive at; it's a method of travelling. I'd say you've got the method right!
ReplyDeleteA lovely expression of contentment!
ReplyDeleteFamily and faith are more than enough!
ReplyDeleteHold on to the good things. They make it possible to survive the bad.
ReplyDeleteand that's enough- magic words to live by.
ReplyDeleteYes, I too struggle to break free of everything covid has restrained me with and then I remember how blessed I am.
