So many things… My daily practice fills my tank. Spending times with my husband, kids, and girlfriends. Being in nature touches my heart. Laying on the couch with my cat on my chest.
When I started thinking about things I label simple, I realized that for many people they are difficult things indeed. In Ukraine, heating water for that first cup of coffee in the morning may not be possible. Either the water, the coffee or a means to heat the liquid may not be available. I thought of war torn Syria. Refugees who have been living in tents in Turkey for years without necessities. I could go on and on but I’m struggling with the word “simple.” I take so many things for granted! Thanks for this question.
A chance encounter with someone, with an exchange of information. That feeling of being connected to others and the random alignment of circumstance.
And of course being in nature. Preferably on my bike, but any time I can work up a sweat out in the natural world.
Experiencing awe , gratitude, mindfulness of choice, meditation, witnessing acts of kindness and understanding and supporting others, sunrise, good company, being in a sympathetic joy frame of mind, anything that brings a smile

A sound 8 1/2 hour sleep
A nice cup of coffee, walking along the beach, a walk in nature or a bike ride
Watching the sun rise on a fresh new day.
Spending time with my husband and grandson, and with my friends, always rejuvenates me. I am grateful for their presence in my life.
A cup of coffee.
A jog on the beach. A hike in the woods. Camping with my family. Mindful breathing.
