RE: Gift yourself a little peace

It sounds as if you are learning the value of being contented wherever you are. One of my daughters tends to think life will be better someplace else, so she moved far away for a year, but there's a saying, "Wherever you go, there you are." Meaning, we take our inner selves along wherever we go, with all of our baggage and emotions and attitudes and expectations. Our discomfort and dissatisfaction with where we are often masks (or is a result of) our dissatisfaction and discomfort with WHO we are. Delving into those personal details can be disconcerting, but it's part of a healing and maturing process. Sometimes a counselor is needed to help us think things through, but it's worth the effort.
