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

  • Running barefoot through the woods when there is just enough mud on the paths to soften them up but not so much that it's slippery, on a quiet weekday morning, when it's about 10-15C and sunny, listening to my favourite album, no injuries, not too tired, saying hello to the birds and squirrels.
