Contentment; satisfaction.

This month's word of the month CONTENT, actually came to me in mid March and I have been sitting on it and stewing over it for a couple of weeks now.

Plain and simple, I am not content.

I want more.

I want to do more.

I want to become more.

I want to be better.

I could go on and on listing all of my wants.

I see no need to do that.

I also want to acknowledge just how blessed and fortunate I am having all that I do have and being able to lead the life I do lead.

Still, I would be lying to you if I said I was CONTENT.

In my mind, content is the equivalent as saying I'm done.

One thing I know, is that I am certainly not done.

I know this because I woke up this morning.

Another day....not done yet!

There are days in my life when I actually permit myself to pause and reflect on all that I have and all that I have accomplished.

Well maybe not whole days but maybe a couple of hours in"a" day, okay minutes,in that day.

The rest of the time however, I find that I am always searching for more.

More what?

Anything!

Everything!

Just more!

It can be exhausting!

Is this a character flaw or an admirable trait?

That seems to be a great question.

Whichever it is, I have chosen to use the month of April to explore my relationship with CONTENTMENT.

This can become interesting!

Or very very uncomfortable!
