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.

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....

Thank you. This is just wonderful. I’m working hard on my contentment to match my husband’s frugal ways.

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!
