    Hiking in nature. ANY kind of Nature. I live in the high desert - West side of the Rockies - where we are up "high" - so the Nature which thrives here is tough, can deal with drought, bitter cold, close by sun, and outrageous wind storms. I feel satisfied as I wander through feilds full of flowers, trek barefoot across ancient lava flow (of which we have in large abundance), sink up to my knees in winter snow, crunch leaves in the Fall.

    What else satisfies me? Being around people I adore, respect, love, like, find intersting, fun, cool. I LOVE being around my pets. Reading always satisfies me.

    Eating healthy food and enjoying tasty wine with friends.

    Here's something else that satisfies me immensely. Growing in wisdom - learning from my mistakes, appreciating myself. It's funny how when I was young and thin I HATED my body, my face, my SELF. Now that I'm over forty and overweight - I think I'm gorgeous!

    I guess being in my own skin FINALLY satisfies me - it's a sweet feeling.

    Nature, for sure. Anything that has to do with nature or being outdoors.

    Dancing. I'm a dance instructor and have been dancing for over 20 years. When I almost didn't go back to teaching, I woke up one day, so sick to my stomach. I knew I had to go back to doing it. It's who I am, it's in my blood, and it truely makes me happy.

    it must be nice. i dislike food and my body so much that it does affect me greatly sometimes. i am glad to hear that maybe it is something i will 'grow out of', as i try to control it but sometimes it seems out of my grasp.

    myself, i love creating things, whether it's designing webpages or crocheting scarves. i also love to play the piano, talk to my garden, and be in the woods (i also live in the desert, and while i enjoy hiking here it doesn't compare to my poor missed montana :( )

    playing with my dog also satisfies me, but my enjoyment of him is balanced out by my irritation at his constant peeing on the carpet. ^_^

    Taking walks, hiking, whatever you'd call it. But I never set a destination in mind. I always take off in a random direction and see what there is to be seen, see if there's anything new. Sometimes I follow the road to the summer camp down the street (the owners let me hike around the woods in the off-season as long as I tell them I'm out there). Sometimes I jump the fence in Mom's backyard and wander around the woods behind our neighborhood. Sometimes I go to the gas station up the road and get some ginger ale and just hang.

    I just like moving, on my own two feet--the sound of the road, the wind through the trees, the feel of the sun, the people one meets while one is out... I think I would go completely and utterly mad if I were to stay in one place or travel in a car anywhere.

    Being outdoors or with animals.

    Doing any kind of art (drawing, painting, pastels, etc).

    Just talking to people over the phone makes me happy as well. =3

    I've feel enoyed when I'm playing on my old guitar which I called princes. My father played on her as well. That is love which I'm sure about I will play to the end of my days.

    Never stopping heart racing masturbation.

    In other words... life and all the silly things that come with it.
