What's Your "Cucumber"?

A friend of ours recently purchased an awesome, four door truck with huge, oversized tires and a body lift.  Wow!  What a cool ride.  As I looked at the photo Kim shared, I thought about how much I love trucks.  Wouldn't it be cool to have one like this myself?  Suddenly I found myself not as enamored with my Toyota 4runner anymore.  Wait a second.  Didn't I think to myself just yesterday that this has been my absolute favorite vehicle I've ever owned, including two trucks previously?  What gives?  Why did I feel like I needed an awesome new truck?

Then Kim showed me the attached video her sister shared with her that brought into clear focus for me how 'comparing', and to some extent 'competing' and 'chasing', were starting to take hold of me.  Isn't that monkey funny?  Perhaps more funny, don't we all sometimes do like that monkey, suddenly no longer satisfied with our "cucumber", whatever it happens to be, compared to the "grape" the other monkey is getting?  Isn't it funny how often we are perfectly content and happy with what we have, almost always well beyond sufficient for our needs, only to see someone else with something "better" or "more" and suddenly think, what we have isn't good enough?  Hmmmn.  Time to practice being 'grateful and content' again today.  Guess my 4runner is still just as awesome as yesterday.  What's your "cucumber" today?  What's your "grape"?
