For me it's various things, some of which are (in no particular order):
Quietude in myself, quiet in my surroundings
Being alone or being with people I care about (preferably one at a time)
Being with animals and insects, especially studying how they spend their days
Being at home, in my bedroom, reading a novel
Being in nature away from the noise made by people
Watching a bird flying high in the sky, especially a raptor
Looking at the moon
Being creative
For me I'm happiest the most when:
Spending time with animals, understanding their personalities, characteristics and how they interact with each other. Animals can be great teachers.
Being in nature, sitting on the grass as it makes me feel grounded and feeling the sun shining down ( only for about 10mins then I get too hot and uncomfortable and revert back to the shade haha)
Reading in general but opening a new paperback book because of the feel of the pages.
Listening to music usually from the 60s and 70s
Being immersed in my interest of the 50s/60s and 70s era fashion, gadgets, art and crafts cars etc
Spending time with my 3 closest family members.
Playing an instrument
Looking up at the clouds drifting by when I'm lying on the grass or watching the moon and the stars at night
‘The feel of the pages’ yes! No kindles for us Books smell great too. Usually.
The moon was incredible last night. I’m in my sisters house as I stayed over to let the cat out at 3 am. No caf flap. Anyway, the bed I slept on top of is next to a big picture window. So lying there it’s like being outside and inside at the same time. And the moon, wreathed in ribbons of cloud, was captivating. Even if a little disruptive to sleep. I didn’t want to start fiddling with the blind in case I broke it.
