Write About Contentment


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 robin, bluejay or sparrow and write about its movement and behavior. 

Sing a few notes of a song with words of delight.

Look into a flower for faces or details. 







Watch the colors at sunset.

Revel in a dark night of stars and moonlight.














Deepen the experiences. 

Reveal how they add enrichment to your life.  

Respond to the details of their nature. 

Explore contentment in a story or poem.
