In the Stephen King story “The Girl who loved Tom Gordon”, the main character is lost in the woods of western Maine for about 6 days. After trouncing through a bog, dealing with injuries, insects, and insecurities, she sees a bush full of edible berries. She finds a place to rest and tunes into the Red Sox game on her radio headphones. As she drifts off to sleep after a save by Tom Gordon, she comments that she is “experiencing her life’s great contentment.”
What’s YOUR life’s great contentment? Have you even experienced it yet? If not, do you have a plan for achieving it? Is there only one?
For the lost 10 year old girl, it was as simple as a handful of berries, relief from bug bites, and the familiar voices of baseball announcers.
