June 29--Satisfied?

To be able to look back upon one's life in satisfaction is to live twice. 
--Kahlil Gibran

    Peeking ahead, the July theme in "Daily Joy" is adventure. Adventure is what makes life satisfying, and it means different things to different people. 
    Can you look back upon your life in satisfaction? For consideration:
  • Have you experienced some adventure? 
  • Have you had good relationships with family and friends? 
  • Did you expand mentally, emotionally and spiritually? 
  • Did you try new things? 
  • Did you fall in love? 
  • Did you conquer one or more challenges? 
  • Did you create something that pleases you? 
  • Did you enjoy at least some part of planet Earth outside your hometown? 
  • Have you stood on top of a mountain? 
  • Have you had a dip in an ocean? 
  • Did you fulfill a personal quest? 
  • Did you survive a situation that seemed impossible to live through?
  • Have you experienced how another culture lives? 
  • Have you helped someone? 
  • Are you "comfortable in your own skin?" 
  • Have you made amends where indicated? 
  • Have you put your unique talents and gifts to good use? 
  • Have you enjoyed the companionship of a pet? 
  • Have you celebrated milestones of yourself and those you love? 
  • Have you cared for yourself gently and lovingly? 
  • Did you get to do/be/have what you wanted? 
  • Are you still living each day with anticipation of good? 
    Life is good, and yes, I am satisfied.
