What is satisfaction ?

Yesterday, despite it being grey and cold, I pushed myself to work outside doing lots of fiddly jobs which didn't take up a great deal of time individually, but collectively took me nearly all day.

When having a good wash later, twice I looked out of the window to admire the way things are going and during the evening whilst watching "the box", my mind was still in the garden, reliving all I had done and planning for today and in bed ?...................yes, still planning how to position something onto the front of a window sill to prevent pots falling off.

To me, satisfaction will come when I can sit on any of the seats and appreciate all that I've done, in order that together we have a place of relaxation and very little to maintain.

I actually can't wait to show you a before/after, maybe in a week.

Re: What is satisfaction ?

Colin for me satisfaction is surveying a job well done.

My Dad used to say 'Complete some task every day no matter how small so you can look back on your day knowing you have achieved something so the day wasn't wasted'.

For me, it is the relief that the task has been completed.

Re: What is satisfaction ?

To me, satisfaction and contentment goes hand in hand.
When I am pleased with something I have done, I have a nice warm feeling of contentment.

This morning I have planted my seed potatoes and onion sets and my sense of satisfaction will come when I am harvesting them !

Changing,washing,and ironing bedding. Fitted sheets are a buggar to iron and putting on a king size duvet cover single handed is not easy. But getting into a changed bed with my hot water bottle --------nice
