Valentine Chip---Content/Envious

I find myself on the content side of this chip today....
Everything is coming up roses! ;D I honestly can't remember
to many times in my life that I have felt envious of other people.
The one exception was first coming into recovery! I wanted
what my recovery friends had.... Serenity!

Hope you share your thoughts today on envy or contentment!

Happy Valentines Day....... SunnyGirl

I am content for today. The whenever I start to feel envious of others I have to stop myself and look around myself and my life. I am lucky in alot of ways. May not have alot of money, or in good health, or live a fancy home but I have my family, and I am still here in spite of all the near misses down my path. So content I am. 8*)

Have been content with who I am for a long time, a real gift of sobriety. Not always content with my health issues but found that acceptance helped with that. Can't change it, it isn't going to change, so I had to learn to accept what was in the moment.

Don't envy 'stuff' so much, don't use most of what I have. It is amazing how much 'stuff' you can do without when you live in the moment and in the day. I use to be a "wanna be' and a 'wanna have' and belonged on Romper Room. It is such a gift when you can stay within yourself and not look out for validation and affirmation and be content within yourself. I have a lot to be grateful for.
