Are you truly content?
Do you think that if we have food, clothing, and shelter, that should be enough? Do we place too much emphasis on "stuff?'

oh yes, way too much... (emphasis on posessions, that is).
im content about once a year(honestly)- after a really long walk, i lie on a cliff top in the sun, read a book and eat some chocolate.
some weird alchemy happens through being tired, near the sea and carefree-on-holiday.
health, happiness, friends, security=good
x box, cars, iphones=filling your life with stuff to stop you just stting and being at peace.
my mum used to have this taped to the fridge-

WHAT is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare?—
No time to stand beneath the boughs,
And stare as long as sheep and cows:
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass:
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night:
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance:
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began?
A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

I have many things that I have to take care of. Not stuff but bills and cleaning ,childcare,teaching, career and self improvements. I still manage to find contentment but I know I could be more content if I had the right partner.

Yeah, I'm at peace. I'm very thankful for everything I have.
God has provided me with everything I need in life.
But to you the truth, some hang out activities with some friends would be nice xD
I just haven't had the time to call up someone and be like: "Hey, let's go somewhere."
So it's a bit annoying

Yes in love and in a way no, sometimes I worry, my husband doesn't have a job right now he is laid-off, collecting but still getting really hard to get by we couldn't pay all our rent, bills are coming...even grocery shopping is out, day by day....just hoping and praying he goes back to work soon...before we would have to let the internet/tv/phone go :/

I'm a gadget freak. I love 'em. But yeah, we focus on stuff more than we should. I still, though, enjoy looking at my surroundings, people and being out & about,
