Today I had a call with a wonderful, upbeat, joyful person and it reminded me that there are still rays of light in the world and I need to make the time to go out into the world and FIND THEM. So that I can relight my own joyful heart and spread happiness into the world. 6 Reply Holly in Ohio5 months agoHolly in OhioI hope you can find some moments of joy today, Jennifer. 🌸 1 Reply Ose5 months agoOseI can only reply to it from the perspective of this moment being, which even is a special one today.

Last night, my dear friend with whom I currently stay suffered an acute life threatening condition and there must have been a many of protecting angels flying around her so that she is still with us now, recovering. It is in such moments that I humbly thank God for his Grace of alowing the right place, people and right time to come together, catalyzing the good interactions without delay. No space left today.. May be the word content does not really mirror the state, but to know I have contributed and have done what was needed to the best of my ability, too, makes me feel content, which is a part of the inner peace when blessings have been granted, like today. Deeply and humbly grateful. Hope that tonight, inner peace and a relaxed, open mind may return after today´s intense need for focussing. Blessings be with you all, my dear friends.

When I can eat dinner with my husband or ride in the car and just sit comfortably in the silence of being together. 8 Reply Mica5 months agoMicaThe spaces between moments come to mind – like when I read the question and the underlying peace rose up – moments when I let go of whatever is on top of the contentment, blanketing it, as it were. 7 Reply Mr. Jewels Jasper aka Loose Cabooze5 months agoMr. Jewels Jasper aka Loose CaboozeAfter intense outdoor cardio no wonder I have been how I have without any 6 Reply Mr. Jewels Jasper aka Loose Cabooze5 months agoMr. Jewels Jasper aka Loose CaboozeAlso daily meditation and prayer which I fell from lately any wonder I fall to pieces that’s alright I have the puzzle instructions now 6 Reply Holly in Ohio5 months agoHolly in OhioLife offers so many moments where we might feel content. - Moments of emotional intimacy with friends or family. - Sleeping in. - Getting lost in creativity. - Absorbing nature. - Doing a good job. - Sharing a good meal with others. - Finishing exercise. - Even cleaning! It seems like we are content both in moments when we are paying attention to the moment and when we have surrendered completely to it and are adrift in that moment.

It seems like we are content both in moments when we are paying attention to the moment and when we have surrendered completely to it and are adrift in that moment. My husband said something unusual to me the other day. He said, “I like it when you bake. You are so happy.” It’s funny, but I hadn’t known that until he told me.

In my life now being in Nature, or doing meditation and journaling are the things that I can do. But to even remember sitting on the steps in the mountains at night, or being at the ocean and reliving those wonderful times take me back and give me a sense of some contentment.

I never “got” why people list manicures as self-care, not that it can’t be enjoyed, but on the other hand I completely get how mediation and journaling would be nurturing and restorative for you. Now that you are aware, I hope you give yourself more time for this! ❤ 4 Reply Mary Pat5 months agoMary PatYes indeed! That is the secret for me… The hardest part. To allow myself the luxury -and it is luxury for me-to give myself the same time I give others. 4 Reply DeVonna5 months agoDeVonnaWhen I am alone with my thoughts I feel most content. In the mornings when I have my quiet time and in the evenings, when I retire an hour and a half before my husband. I usually go to bed with a book or to watch relaxation videos. It's in those quiet parts of the day when I can focus, let go and really enjoy the life God's given me. Oddly enough, I can acheive this level of contentment in the car as well. I stream slow jazz music while I sit in traffic and the feeling of contentment is profound...When I am alone with my thoughts I feel most content.
