I like having a comfortable life, but what does that mean? I think it is different for everyone. I think with all the television shows that promote what a show perceives as the perfect home and/or the perfect lifestyle too many people think what they have isn’t enough. I think this is ridiculous. My life is designed for my comfort and filled with people and things that make me comfortable and happy. 

At this stage in my life I have stopped worrying about what others think about me. I have found it very liberating. I have to create my own happiness and what others have in their homes really does not factor into my day. I can honestly say I don’t give it any thought. 

I have learned that I don’t need much to be happy. I am fortunate to have an apartment filled with things that make my time at home comfortable. Physical comforts are nice, but what I really need to make life worthwhile is to spend time with my family and friends. I feel more alive when I am with one of them. I enjoy listening to their stories and just hanging out with them. I am elated when they take time out of their day to spend time with me. They fill my soul with joy and make life more worthwhile and fulfilling.

I like to take time for myself too. I love to take walks and just take in all the beauty around me. I will take the time to stop and smell a flower or walk on leaves just to hear them crunch. There is a certain time of the year where I live that the butterflies are profuse and I will take special walks just to go watch them flutter about. So I guess for me a comfortable life means finding time for myself, spending time with family and friends, and having a comfortable place to recharge that I get to call home. 

Always grateful,

Pammye
