This week, share something that satisfies you.
By “Enjoy the satisfaction that comes from doing little things well.” — H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
I really like office supplies. I like the colors, the designs, and the way they smell, fresh out of a package. I like that they enable me to produce beautiful things, organized things, creative things, necessary things. Even though most people I know use digital calendars, my personal calendar is pencil and paper, and I live by it.
This weekend, I got a new pencil sharpener with titanium —Â titanium! — blades. I sat at my desk for twenty minutes, sharpening pencils, creating a colorful, perfectly pointy graphite bouquet. The feeling of satisfaction I got from such a simple task was probably absurd to some, but for me, it was enough.

This week, share a photo of something that brings you satisfaction. It can be monumental, minor, or something in between. We can’t wait to see your contributions.
Here is mine: https://stenoodie.com/2017/07/26/weekly-photo-challenge-satisfaction/ (So glad the delay of the pingbacks got sorted out!)

My satisfaction comes from the love I have within my life and the goofiness that results from it.
Please visit my blog at https://barbarabrazen.wordpress.com/ and tell me what you think! I’d love to have more readers and comments on my posts. I’d like my stories to be easy to read and relatable. Thank you!

I just noticed this post asks for a picture showing what satisfies you. I wrote a post today. My favorite thing to include in my posts are snapshots of text messages from my boyfriend. Some of the things he writes have endless value to me and I like to share them to make my writing more real.

What a great challenge. And it’s good to know I’m not the only one who gets a kick out of stationery… but here’s mine https://castelsarrasin.wordpress.com/2017/07/26/satisfaction-weekly-photo-challenge/

Nice challenge. I have some problems with the pingback, but there just might be a delay. There are two things that satisfy me in my post today. A cup of black coffee in the morning and the sunlight that matches the light in the magazine photo:

Remembering that depression is a disease just like cancer and not getting angry with my partner of 10 years and not feeling alone although he’s with me not speaking most of the time.

I love stationery too! I just commented on that very fact in one of my free writing sessions. What better way to start the day than cracking open an new notebook or pen? Happy to bump into a kindred spirit.

Great Post. I definitely agree with satisfaction through doing little things. Sometimes, I sit near the water, listen to waves and feel the wind. It is the best moment and you feel satisfied with what you have at that moment of life.

Removing my comment that the pingbacks are still not working makes little sense on your part. Thanks
