Contentment

I spend a lot of time focusing on what's wrong with my life. I don't make enough money. I can't eat anything I want any time. I am far away from my family and friends.

But just a little while ago, I had a moment of contentment.

I was standing in the kitchen, slicing home made bread, spreading it with butter, sprinkling it with cinnamon and sugar and putting it under the broiler. The kettle whistled and I poured the boiling water over chamomile and lavender flowers for some tea. Then I carried the tea and toast over to Dev and we sat and ate.

Sometimes you are just thankful.
