That happy state of mind, so rarely possessed, in which we can say, "I have enough," is the highest attainment of philosophy.

I think I make a plaque with your quote and hang in in the kitchen. Today already I had in one hand the open milk bottle, in the other a vase. You guessed it, I put the vase in the refigerator and poured the milk in the sink.

Rob, if you'd had any inkling of how your day was going to be, you'd have crawled back into bed and pulled up the covers!! At least, I would have. But good for you; you handled it all. I think you're a kind of "Super Woman".

I was thinking last evening that this quote sort of applied in a general way to how I felt even with the economic woes...and feeling grateful I could honestly say "I have enough". I wish the same for all here. josh

Oops, I didn''t explain that well...meant that I feel incredibly fortunate and thankful, and was counting my blessings. My "enough" might not be yours but I'm content is what I meant to say. Not sure I'm making sense...never mind. josh

Great quote, Josh. You explained yourself clearly to me; I feel the same way. I'm blessed and fortunate enough to have what I need and truly don't want or need much more--at least, not for myself and DH. But if I won the lottery and could help make the lives of our children easier, that would be nice, I think.
