“The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things.”
- Henry Ward Beecher
Write about contentment that extends beyond a feeling of happiness. What makes you feel Alive?
Develop a list of "common" things you enjoy. Include five or ten.
What does the sun feel like after a steady rain?
Cherish a taste of boysenberries just picked from the garden.
Recall a scent that brings a memory.
Notice a heron, bluejay or sparrow and write about its movement and behavior.
Sing a few notes of a song with words of delight.
Revel in a dark night of stars and moonlight.
