Contentment

I changed jobs in July. The events leading up to that were traumatic to say the least. You can tell from previous posts. I've been with the new job on half the pay since the 15th of July, and the loss of money has been easily offset by the improvement in my mental health, decrease in stress, reduction in anger levels, and general well being.

Sometimes you don't realise how bad a situation is until you've extricated yourself from it, either by choice, or through a change being forced upon you. Happiness is somewhat transient and fleeting - contentment is much more enduring and satisfying to the soul.
