Discontent

“Quis sit divitiarum modus quaeris? primus habere quod necesse est, proximus quod sat est.”

“Do you ask what is the proper limit to wealth? It is, first, to have what is necessary, and, second, to have what is enough.”

Appreciation can leave room for change.

Recognizing what supports you doesn't require staying satisfied with every part of your circumstances. You can value your present home, work, or relationships while wanting something to change; honesty about a need doesn't erase what you appreciate.

ONE SMALL STEP

Write one thing you value and one thing you would like to improve.

A little room to breathe.17 August
