I was watching an early morning talk show and this was the question they asked.
It got me thinking and I would say that right now my word would be CONTENT.
I'm perfectly happy with my life right now. Of course I'd love to be rich and travel the world but unless I win the lottery that isn't happening.
My life has had plenty of ups and downs but I'm not going to go off on a tangent and talk about all the struggles.
I just thought it was an interesting question so I'm throwing it out there....
What's a word that would describe your life right now? a word or words or even if you want to elaborate is fine.
We all know that things can change in a minute but right at this very moment what's your word???

@Marilynda1225 This is a great post! I thought about this cancer journey and although I've never climbed actual mountains, this feels like it. Some days the path smooths out and you're walking a little easier when all of a sudden the trail narrows and starts getting steeper and harder to get very far.
I like to think that Jesus is walking beside me on the straight paths, but He carries me through the rocky ones.

@1creekgirl Amen to that Vicki. Jesus has us in the palm of His hands. As soon as you said mountain climbing I knew you were talking about your cancer journey and those two words were perfect.

@Marilynda1225 That's right because happiness is a choice and it's all in your mind. You decide whether to be happy or not, or whether to be contented or not.

That is a great way to look at things. I am lucky to be able to say that both your words sum up my life right now too. I never go a day without being thankful for all that I have because it's way more than I had at other times

@Marilynda1225 It's not for me, I am very well, but because of my husband health.

My word is "tired"... I don't know why I'm awake right now but I need to go back to sleep.
I hope you enjoy your day.

@Marilynda1225 Thank you. I did go to sleep right after I wrote that response. I know I dream but am just as happy I very rarely remember dreaming.

Tired is a good word. There's plenty of days I would use that word too. Hope you have some good sleep and maybe a few good dreams too?

Same here. CONTENT. I am not rich. But I am grateful that I do not have to worry about paying my bills every month. I can afford to buy a few new clothing, and dine out with friends once in a while.

It's nice that you are also content. There were times when I thought that being content was unheard of

@Marilynda1225 Me too. The scary feeling it brings to me when I ride in a roller coaster too

Hmm well I’m on hold with customer service for the insurance and I can barely make out what the guy is saying and it’s taking forever to get my question answered. The baby needs a nap and is being irritable so I’d say “frustrated” describes my life at this very moment. Soon I shall read a book once she falls asleep and then life will be “peaceful”.

I hope you can get your frustrating phone call resolved quickly and the baby sleeping so you can get into the peaceful part of your day and enjoy your book.

You stole my word. That is copyright violation. I need to complain to somebody. LOL
Me too...life is about decent friends who understand you, about values and feelings that you can uphold and give recognition to without wanting to hide them, having good meals, good bed to sleep, decent bathing (I love long luxurious baths), good music. Of course, bank balance does not create frowns, and god who seems to be holding your hand. It is not as if it is all hunky dory. There are hiccups. Annoying ones too. Health issues. But I accept them all, that one ability that god has given makes me feel ...wow...what have I been doing so far wasting my life obsessed with unpleasant parts when I should have looked at what I have already been given abundantly.
So I could say the word should be grateful not content...just to be different from you. Love, hugs, tc.

You said exactly what I'm feeling. I agree that my word should have been grateful or blessed

At this moment I have found consolation in my online writing and in my cats. So for me at this moment two words sum up how I feel - happy and content. And with the help of the Lord, I hope that I can also add the word ecstatic and good things are waiting for me just down the line, Thank you for the suggestion @1creekgirl

That makes me smile knowing that you and your hubby are happy. Great word to choose "perfect"

I think that the word that best describes my time and place in life has to be 'blessed'.
I have had that feeling to describe my life for as long as I can remember actually.
Nothing is perfect about my life, but I have a loving family, fairly good health, and although I am not wealthy, we have enough, and that works for me.

Blessed is a word I use often too along with grateful. No ones life is perfect and if they say it is they're lying

Prayerful for my biological gender, my son's biological gender, our country, and this world. Many of my classmates already have teenage grandchildren, but I don't have a grandchild at all. I would love to, and my son wold love to have children We have been yearning for them for years, but because of the lunacy, we do not want our descendants to grow up in this mess.

Happy is a good word. Rich doesn't always mean money. I think you're very rich with a loving family
