contented

Wanting for nothing

Contented means satisfied with one's situation or circumstances—not striving for more, not restless.

It suggests a quiet, settled happiness rather than excitement: a contented sigh, She seemed contented with her modest life.

The word overlaps with content but carries a slightly warmer, more complete sense of ease.
