Sometimes it seems that the world wraps it’s arms around you in subtle ways, making everything comfortable and good. The anxiety in your life can be seen in a small puddle near feet of the chair you are sitting in. Today it was the radio on, an oddity in itself lately, playing music that made me smile, music that I wasn’t stuck listening to, an album that I was compulsively listening to, but new stuff and old stuff, songs that made me smile, and remember the songs, no the world Iwas living in when I heard them before. There is the tea, a green tea from Marriage et Freres, a generous gift form a friend, I had appreciated the gift, but didn’t like tea much until today, maybe I hadn’t made it strong enough or maybe I just wasn’t ready for it, but the pot today is good. Bella, is being friendly and sweet, she comes to be pet, puts her head in my lap, wags her tail, then walks away and curls up on the couch across form me. My head is calm, in a post yoga clearness, my body is tired, but my mind is raring to go, reading the pages, turning the pages and enjoying the story. Contentment seems like an easy task and is so often so hard to find. I’m putting this one here as a note to myself.
Contentment is there to be found. Find it, grab it, make it yours.
