Contentment

What positive emotion do you feel most often?

Contentment is the positive emotion I feel most often. I am retired. My children are grown, my days routine. I am past the point of working hard, professional struggles, and daily stress. At the age of seventy-three, I’ve learned most upsets blow over if you let them. I spend my time doing a few necessary chores. As I went out before daylight to water my flowers, it occurred to me I was doing what my beloved grandmother was doing seventy years ago, puttering in my yard, and pretty much doing as I choose.

  1. Like you, I feel content most of the time. I paint and write every morning, and then spend time at the Hub doing all manner of things, or just reading a good book. I am soon to be 79 – my children all grown up (58 and 50) and so it’s a good time to enjoy contentment and I am grateful for it.
