contentment

i am always looking forward to something- the next event, purchase, vacation, promotion, concert, weekend.  like many people, i struggle with contentment.  i'm currently reading a book titled calm my anxious heart, to do just that.  came across this section today:

two women looked through the prison bars
one saw mud, the other saw stars.

i like that because it sounds pretty and simply states that the secret to contentment is how we choose to look at life.  i want to focus on the stars.
