A picture of contentment

I don't normally find myself to be a very content person. There is usually some thought or longing in my mind and heart to make contentment seem very far away or even impossible.
But, I was cutting up veggies to go in the chili I am making for dinner and I was thinking about this fact:

I have four knives.

Most people I know have a bunch. Pairing knives, butcher knives, carving knives, bread knives.....serrated knives and smooth-bladed ones. Not to mention a stash of steak knives.

I have two pairing knives, a carving knife and a serrated one I use for slicing bread. (I don't count butter knives, LOL)
And honestly: I am okay with the four I have.

As I was thinking, I realized....even if I had a whole collection of knives at my disposal, I would probably only use two or three of them. Most would probably sit in their slot or drawer and wear away.

And so, I am grateful for the ones I have today!

On another note: we're trying for a (late) garden! The boys and I planted peas and carrots this morning and I (finally!) planted up the chia-herb garden I had been given for Christmas. As the peas and carrot seeds are from last year, we'll have to see how it goes!
