Ah, Contentment!

"If you would find a truly contented person in this world, it would likely be someone no one thinks to envy, who seeks no attention, invites no comparison, whose contentment is their own private business."


 


"Is it surrender, or is it to find contentment -- to be happy with your consolations."


"The key to contentment is the same as the key to worry and anxiety -- you must learn to make a big deal out of nothing."


"Contentment is that rare moment when you forget what you deserve and let what you have be enough."

Memories

 "We speak of creating happy memories, only to discover that all memories are sad.  It is only a question of whether the sadness is bitter or sweet."


 


"What we envy about the folks in an old family photo is not so much the life they lived as the future they imagined."


"The hardest thing about reliving the past

Is reassembling the original cast."
