Contentment by casablanca

Contentment

I love this quote, painted on the wall as you exit the exhibition area at Chartwell, Churchill's former home.

It seems to me to sum up the secret of contentment. There's a verse in Philippians where Paul writes that he has learned to be content whatever his circumstances. I was reminded of that seeing this.

Whether happy, sad, light, burdened, rich or poor, go out in the free sunlight and find the pleasure in the moment, in what you see. The natural world is a beautiful place and just looking at it, breathing it in has always been a balm for my soul.
What a wonderful quote and lovely words you have added. A fav for the great vibes.

So that's why I wake up happy most of the year. Because we have sunshine most of the year. Very clear capture and lovely light.

Great quote and commentary. I confess I need to follow Winston and Paul’s advice much more than I do ( especially on the golf course ;-)
