Kind of frustrating when you realize that we live in an economy that rises or falls on its ability to make you and me DIScontent and want or buy more stuff. To follow up your statement that contentment doesn't mean lying down and rolling over, consider this quote from John Eldridge: "Contentment is not freedom FROM desire, but freedom OF desire. Being content is not pretending that everything is the way you wish it would be; it is not acting as though you have no wishes. Rather, it is no longer being ruled by your desires." Great post, Ron.

When people walk into my home they see a very minimalist uncluttered space. I often get asked how I can live with so few things. What people don't realize is my life is very full (and so is my bank account). :smile: I don’t own much “stuff”. When people walk into my home they see a very minimalist uncluttered space.
