Feeling Contentedness

We were in the midweek last week! What an incredible honor to be featured in the one newspaper that my grandma (who might be reading this right now) loves to get because it comes with the weekly store coupons. Those coupons are everything so that makes it all the more special to me!

Last week I also experienced something that doesn’t happen a lot for me: “contentedness”. This is a feeling that comes around once every 3 years. I think the last time I felt that way was after making it home from the longest and most turbulent family trip we ever took and the time before that was during covid. Studying the pattern, I think I experience this feeling during times when outside situations force me to really take a long look at my life and see the great blessings I have.

While the motivation to learn, grow, work hard, impact the community, and provide for my family will always be my core personality, I hope age and practice will help me to experience the feeling of content more often and without stressful outside situations.

For those of you who have this mastered - got any tips for me??
