Contentment

It’s foggy and chilly outside. I’m snuggled with my laptop and a hot mug of coffee and the scent of fresh-baked banana-nut muffins. I feel settled. Adam and I worked out this morning, and even though I didn’t want to go, he encouraged me and got my lazy butt to the gym. Last night, we watched cell phone video of our wedding and got all nostalgic and happy. We watched LOST and got happy again. We ate spaghetti and talked about our days in the comforting way that I am growing used to, but never take for granted.

Yesterday I had my first day at my new job. More to come on that – for now, there’s too much to tell. Suffice it to say that it’s awesome and terrifying in the way that God-powered choices almost always are.

Contentment is a fleeting thing, made tougher to grasp by our fixation on perfection and our inability to be still. But it is here.  I’m learning to appreciate these moments, one at a time.
