Ahhh . . . to be content . . . to be happy with who you are, where you are, where you live, what you look like, your relationships, etc. At least, these are the things I struggle to be content with (and more, to be honest.)
I gotta be honest: the following info that I'm putting up I found on my NEW! FAVORITE! website, simplemom.net - I love, love, love it. These are great tips for being content and I plan to post them up on my bathroom mirror. These principles are from a book called Calm My Anxious Heart: A Woman’s Guide to Finding Contentment by Linda Dillow.
*Never allow yourself to complain about anything — not even the weather.
*Never picture yourself in any other circumstance or someplace else.
*Never compare your lot with another’s.
*Never allow yourself to wish this or that had been otherwise.
*Never dwell on tomorrow — remember that tomorrow is God’s, not ours.
On a side note, we had a discussion on contentment at our women's Bible study group this summer and Robyn, our fearless leader, pointed out that it's important to not confuse complacency with contentment.
