i have seen and know a lot of people, well actually most of the people i know are discontent, complainers always in need of something, always wanting something more and never content with what they have.

 

i woke this morning thinking about this. Most are that way in their relationships with others, never satisfied with the relationship but not willing to step out and truly partake in the relationship, most everything is superficial.

 

It reminds me of a lady my mon use to know we would go and pick apples to make apple souse and apple butter and apple pies with seemed that when we would do this she would always show up and would pick out what she thought were the most perfect apple to take home, a month or two later when we were dune with most of the canning for the year we would always take her a few jars of food.

The apple that she spent so much time trying to find, that perfect apple would be setting on a plate on her table and every time it would have sins of rot and decay.

 

Relationships are like that apple if you do not take the time to enjoy it wall you have it, chances are it will rot away, become stagnate and you will become bored with it and discard it.

 

Stop trying to make everything perfect in your life so you can enjoy it, and enjoy life so it can be made perfectin the sense of joy.

For when you are content with what you have, are not trying to change it or make it better, or trying to accomplish that one more thing so that you can be happy,

Be content with what you have and use it to the best of your ability, in relationships give all you have, invest your time and energy, be willing to give and not take.

 

Ever seen the movie UP!, it is the most heart breaking movie, here’s a guy who finds true love lives his life with His love and she dies, he has great regrets for the adventures they or he never did and sets out to do them.

Towards the end he is looking at the photo album his love had had sense before they met, looked through the photos and came to the page that said My Adventures, when they met she had told Him of the adventures she wanted to go on and He promised to take her,

He is depressed because he never took her on any of them wall she was alive.

 

Then he notices a corner of a photo sticking out from behind the page, turns the page and she has added photos of their adventures through life and then tell him to go have his own new adventure.

 

It is sad because most people live their lives that same way always looking for the adventure never realizing or relishing the fact that they are living it now.

 

Like someone who likes milk, buys a cow and never milks it.

Like someone who buys the latest camping gear but never steps foot in the wilderness,

Like that person who sets around with the love of their life and never touches or talk with them beyon the superficial.

 

Life is an adventure every day and only those who are content and thankful can truly enjoy it or see it.
