What About Contentment?

What if I choose contentment today? (vs. the anxiety of wanting)

I love my strong Scandinavian body. (life preserver tummy and purple stretch marks--gross)

The summer breeze, delicious on my skin. (wish I had a back yard)

I can know the hearts of family online. (moping that no one in our family lives here)

Bloomington is full of fabulous immigrants to know and learn from. (I can't join the peace corps right now.)

My children are unique and fabulous. (what if my son can't do pull ups? what if my daughter is the largest kid in Kindergarten--see number 1)

I am unique and fabulous. (I'm not a brain surgeon or UN delegate).

Today is ripe with Possibility. (I'm a mom, I can't do that...)

I don't need anything Target wants to sell me! (I have enough.)

Peace in my heart is priceless. (the anxiety of wanting, lacking, envying poisons my day.)

Tell me what your contentment looks like...
