@denmarkguy - total gold my friend! These two sentences beg repeating in my mind:

"Contentment is a pretty awesome thing to have; that sensation that you actually like your life, precisely as it is."

AND

"And therein lies perhaps another fallacy we have been sold... that being happy is a state we can/should expect to sustain all the time."

Gold. Gold. Gold.

Thanks for sharing your contentment, photographs and insights with us <3
