Are you content?

He kept saying to me, I feel so content. I thought about it. I felt the same way. It felt so good, like I was exactly where I wanted to be, spending time with people I love, doing things I love, and no place else in the world could be better. I felt it, what was this profound feeling of contentment? It felt better than being happy, it was like deep joy and deep peace came together and had a baby inside my soul. Named Contentment.

 I was aligned with the present moment and everyone and everything around me seemed to expand the feeling. It's a beautiful thing to feel, especially around the reflection of a New Year, we spend so much time reminiscing about the past or rushing towards the future contentment feels like a luxury. But, it's not. It's where we can live, contentment is a home base. Think of animals stretching out in a sun spot so content, or getting their back scratched in bliss, or simply thrilled we came home. Yes as human beings we will always be growing we will always have  new problems to solve. However, I was reminded that it's o.k. to be content, it fact it's more than ok, it's where we might enjoy living more often than not... and I for one felt so much gratitude to be living it so deeply. Wishing you and yours deepest contentment now in this New Year 2020, and always. With much love, Simone
