What brings you joy and/or contentment?

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

    • This is a great post Blush

    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
