At some point in your life, you have to make a decision. What to you really want? The greener pastures you can see through the fence? Or the comfort of what you have right here, in your own back yard?
Those greener pastures don't always turn out to be what they appear. When I was a kid, I spent most of my holidays on my uncles farm. Most of my favourite memories come from those times. But don't let me get off track. What often appeared to be lovely lush green pastures, were often pastures choked with weeds. While I can remember what the weeds looked like. I can't recall what they were called. I do know if the cows were to eat them, they would get very sick.
Contentment comes from realizing, what I have right now, while not perfect, while not what I planned, is pretty damn good. I have two of the most precious kids on the planet. A very smart, sometimes dopy husband who loves me. A comfortable home. A much neglected cat (or so he thinks) and two of the most adorable little baby turtles. Not to mention a lovely group of friends, both IRL and online who I love. I even have a job now I am really very happy with.
What more could anyone possibly want?
