Some wise words on contentment
A few tidbits to encourage you today....
“Contentment is natural wealth, luxury is artificial poverty.â€
-Socrates
I'm iffy on luxury necessarily being artificial poverty, but oh, I love the first half of this quote.
“He is richest who is content with the least, for content is the wealth of nature.â€
-Socrates
“It's a funny thing about life, once you begin to take note of the things you are grateful for, you begin to lose sight of the things that you lack.â€
-Germany Kent
I hope your Thursday is full of contentment and gratitude.
P.S. Want more inspiration to be content? All my posts on contentment are right here.
Good stuff, thanks for the motivation today!
Nice quotes! I'm always afraid of mixing up contentment and complacency. Contentment can lead to a happy life. Complacency can lead to inertia.
Love the photos!

Hahahah I want to scream "burnnnnnn!"
Thank you. This is just wonderful. I’m working hard on my contentment to match my husband’s frugal ways.
I have mixed up contentment with complacency but got in gear today. Made a cuke salad. Cleaned one shelf in refrigerator. Rewarded myself with ice cream cone. Will do that until darn thing is clean. I have a tablet with Thurs. Written at top. Next thing is dye roots. ....so on and so forth....
How many shelves?... that could be a lot of icecream… 🙂
I've been treating myself to a mars bar a day while I scrub out my filthy new home & today I took a break & visited my fave op shop
Good for you
Thanks for this Kristen; very timely & encouraging today
