I've found that over the years I've let a lot of things fall away, including people, possessions, what I felt were needs but probably were just desires.
You may get to a certain point in life and think: well, here I am, this isn't where I thought I'd be when I was 16, but I'm surprisingly content with where I am and what I've got.
How I got to this point is a long story.
We all have a history, a life story.
Education, relationships, jobs, home - all milestones (or in some cases stones to fall over or block your way).
What do others feel about where they are now, how they got there and where they think they might want to go?
This will differ from generation to generation, I suspect.
I learned a long time ago that life will never be perfect and that brought me a comfort and this inner peace.
I am extremely pleased with my life thus far.
I have a Jaguar MK2 (Inspector Morse car).
I live in an old cottage with a thatched roof.
I've got a gorgeous cat!
Every day I listen to fantastic music.
I'm lucky enough to be able to work part time.
To be honest, despite a few health problems (Lupus, etc), I am happy and content with life and where I am. I do miss my childhood as life was simple and carefree back then, and my parents were both healthy and happy.
But for me personally now life isn't too bad.
I don't want much more than I've got now.

Ooh...
Those 2 things would make me very content!

Nice.
