Celebrate Moments of Contentment

Tonight I was sitting at the kitchen table doing some work when I felt compelled to get up and turn the lamp on in the other room because the view around the corner makes me smile.


I know it may seem shallow to find contentment in a thing, a material possession, but to me this thing is so much more than just a new toy. It symbolizes so much for me in my life journey: the fact that I am finding the courage to sit back down and play again after many years away, finding joy as my fingers move across the keys when all that I felt for many years was emotional pain, seeing this beautiful instrument that I've always dreamed of owning sitting contentedly in my house like she was always meant to be there -- it's a beautiful thing.
