The internet is full of wonderful articles about how to make money online so that you can quit your job within the week, how to find a significant other who won’t steal your car, how to cope with constipated bosses and even how to increase your chances of winning the lottery. What do you do if you are satisfied?

About a year and a half ago, I hated my job. Thanks to some restructuring that went on, and increased responsibilities that give me a sense of purpose, now I don’t. Actually, I like it. And for my town, the money is good. So the idea of “blogging to quit my job” no longer holds appeal. Financially, things are good. Things are pretty good on all other possible fronts as well, actually. I can’t believe I actually typed that. Now I’m waiting for a lightning bolt to come out of the clear blue sky and zap me.

Of course, there are lots of other fairly satisfied folks out there. We have blogs for them, too. You can be darn near perfect, but you can always find things to make you feel dissatisfied. Not saving enough on electricity? Get rid of it for a year. Not happy with being a normal weight? Try the Charles Atlas look! You get the drift. If you are too satisfied, you can always remedy that by reading blogs that will make you feel poor, ugly and uncouth.

On the other hand, you could just sit back and revel in your life.

Life is good.
