“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?
Watch the colors of sunset chase bushes and trees.
Revel in a dark night of stars and moonlight.
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.

Deepen the experiences. Reveal how they add enrichment to your life.
Respond to the details of their nature.
Explore contentment.
