Contentment

Dear Ella,

Spent some time this afternoon thinking and talking about the heady subject of "contentment" - how on earth does one achieve that state of mind?

Was with the lovely Annie (as in Annie and Q) - we couldn't work it out and could only agree that it would be nice to achieve - but seems just now unachievable.  Why?  Do we want too much, need too much, grieve too much, have too much to choose from, not disciplined enough and expect too much from ourselves and others?

That's a lot of questions, so we sat and thought and were in many ways "contented" doing just that for a while.....

Maybe contentment in short bursts is a good starting point.

Lots of love

Mum
