CONTENTMENT

I think I am feeling more contented than I have for a long time. 

No, I am still in the midst of the chaos of unpacking, but it isn't bothering me. 

It's a gorgeous day. The sun is shining, the temp is pretty much perfect, I am sitting next to the open window in my comfy chair, and James Taylor is playing. 

I think this may be the first time in my life that I have moved to a new town and not felt somehow displaced. 

This is the first day that I haven't had to run errands. It's nice to be able to enjoy my new place. 

The last two days I have been doing something I really enjoy. I was lucky to be able to score a garden space here and I have been buying and planting veggies. 

I did a little research on what grows well in Georgia, so I hope to have luck with what I have planted.

Hopefully in a couple of months I will be enjoying fresh tomatoes, peppers, basil, eggplant, cucumbers, and spaghetti squash. 

I don't even have to worry about watering, because the sprinkler system here does it automatically. 

I got up this morning, went downstairs and rode the stationary bike, checked on my garden, and walked around enjoying the woods. 

I call that contentment.
