I think being contentment is another large aspect of life that requires careful balance. I am certainly happy with the life I live right now, but I realize I have quite a future ahead of me. It can be all about finding what to strive for while still being grateful. In fact just a few days ago on Christmas I was dealing with this. I have a loving family, but at times I still can be prone to lonesomeness. It can be hard to discuss this with the people who love you most with out sounding ungrateful, and I really am. I need to accept what I have is great, but I still need to continue forward on finding a companion, I can't give up.
