Well we’re back from vacation! I’m still insisting to Aaron that we’re in our post vacation glow — that it’s okay we’re not waking up to white sands + aqua waters, it’s okay we’re not having mimosas every morning, it’s okay we have to go back to work and use our brains.

Who am I kidding, I’m trying to convince myself of that. :)

So in the spirit of trying to convince myself of things, I started looking up quotes about contentment + finding freedom in our minds. Here’s what I found:

Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants. – Epictetus

Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you. – Lao Tzu

Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough. – Oprah

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for. – Epicurus

I’m feeling better already.

    Wow, I love that Oprah quote! Some great inspiration for a Monday morning, even for those of us who aren’t coming back from vacation. You’re making me super excited to start my fall capsule next week!

    Odd question….Do you wear a nude tank under your shirts that are more sheer? Great quotes!

    Your quotes reminded me of this one I love from Thoreau–

    One is wise to cultivate the tree that bears fruit in our soul.
