I am content; that is a blessing greater than riches; and he to whom that is given need ask no more.
–Henry Field
Who is rich? He that rejoices in his portion.

What makes you feel rich? Anything?
March 21, 2016
good health makes me feel rich. on days when I feel really well!
that…
and having very little in my little wren house. so that it feels spacious.
and filled only with sunlight and fresh air. or on cold dark days … lovely lamplight… pools of welcoming amber to cozy up the room. very rich indeed.

Much more important than things. 🙂
My family and friends.
Yes, indeed. 🙂
Owning things never made anyone happy. Too bad so few people “get it”! Just one little concern though—I hope Gramma has a recycling plan for her plastic bags!
How hard is it to recycle them where you are? Our supermarket has a couple of big containers for us to put them in so it’s super easy here.
Not having to fret about paying rent.
And being able to choose how we spend our time.
well… some days I feel richer than others.
some days when I’m melancholy, I kinda feel pretty poor.
BUT then I make myself remember that I have a roof over my head and I have my pets and my friends and I’m able to work and do for myself, so then I feel rich.
“The quality of our lives depends on how we focus our energy and our attention.” It’s well worth working on.
my biggest “richness” is time – time to do what I want. I hardly ever think of wealth as part of that because the wealth I have is just enough..
I was sorting up some more stuff today and found 30c! a postage stamp, I forgot I had, a little tiny screwdriver and a bunch of other sundries…some more enriching that others!
I also am starting to look at more memories and sorted out a bunch of photos of me in different eras – my hair styles were immensely exciting! Some of the clothing was tooooooooooooo….
I’m with you. Having time to do the things I want is one of the greatest luxuries.
