We Have So Much

A friend recently shared with me that, once when she complained to her husband about lacking something, he turned to her and quietly said, "But Heather, we have so much".
I've thought about this so often lately when I've felt disappointed or unhappy or impatient or jealous of others: I have SO MUCH.
A healthy, happy, charming child; a family who I adore and who cares for me; a beautiful home; plenty of tasty, healthy food; good medical care; a safe country in which to live; a gentle, kind, faithful husband ... everything, in fact, that I need to make me perfectly happy, providing I allow myself to be content.
