Conversation with my friend Gayle, over lunch, this weekend:
Me: I do not know how I am feeling. It is hard to put into words.
Gayle: ....
Me: I have been reading all about the lives of my high-school classmates and realizing that I really would not want their lives. Shocking.
Gayle: ....
Me: Let me see....happy? No, that is not it.
Gayle: ....
thinking thinking thinking
Me: Content. I am content.
Gayle puts down her fork and continues to be speechless for a moment. A big smile appears on her face.
Gayle: I am so happy to hear you say that! Really, I am so glad.
Me: Yes. So am I.....
I smile too.
Nice to have friends like that, no?

I've once known a Gayle who was as worse as a Cookie Cutter Shark.
I'd love to be a cookie cutter shark.

Glad things are looking up for you...I, of course, define contentment in a very positive light.
PS: What, lulei demistafina, is a "cookie cutter shark"?
With a pseudonym like the Jerusalem Artichoke I at least expect you to have a foracious apetite like a White Pointer.
I think that is the exact feeling we should all strive for. My first grader keeps asking me "are you rich? aizehu ashir hasameach bechelko y'know! I am trying. Hold on to it and enjoy it.

Actually, this feeling content does this include the comfort of your new hearing aid?
