Finding peace and contentment in one's circumstances

After losing substantial material possessions, we realized we'd "GIVE it all away just to be where I am now"--things are so much better, and the material things aren't necessary to have joy.

Where I Am Now
Julie Taylor

She said, "It's not that I'm afraid
Well, maybe just a little, but I believe...
Okay, so I don't trust the way I thought
But I'm wondering if you'll ever get back what you lost."

He said, "Let me take you down this road
Before you ask, there's something I've got to show you.
Do you see that house down the hill?
It used to be a home but now it's just wood and bad memories.

And everything that's been stolen from me
Everything I've lost, everything I thought I needed
I'd give it all away just to be where I am now
Just to be where I am now.

I'm running but not away this time
You see, I found that it was true
It's better to live on the roof
Than inside with strife

So much misery packed between those walls and stored inside of me
No, I don't regret
Except the years I wasted trying to fake it

And everything that's been stolen from me
Everything I've lost, everything I thought I needed
I'd give it all away just to be where I am now
And everything that's been stolen from me
Everything I've lost, everything I thought I needed
I'd give it all away just to be where I am now
Just to be where I am now."
