Not sure what the photo signifies. Old wooden buckets, an axe and a chopping block, exposed pipes in a window, stacked wood, a rustic table, all in a dark, old shed. I've looked at it closely, attempting to figure out what is lurking in the darkest corners of the shed. Can't tell. Doesn't seem like a very pleasant place to hang out.
The message though, is clear enough. A happy life is enough.
What makes a happy life? The answer, I think, is closely tied to attitude. An attitude of gratefulness and abundance rather than want-ful-ness.
I like your term 'want-fulness' although I was looking for another 'l' (as I search for fullness). The picture reminds me of Andrew Wyeth: old structures evoking continuity, permanence, a place with memories. Here's one: our family reunion in a 100-year-old barn in Michigan. There's a certain smell of a structure built with heavy woods of old, long gone trees. It's a solid, 'I'm still here' aroma, like a living heritage. I like the simplicity of the sentiment. Is this blog brainstorming?
