Being outdoors in the winter, and reading a good book.
I like being outside. I'm fortunate to live in a beautiful area with mountains, lakes, and rivers. I like to take the camera out and just wander, taking pics of the beautiful scenery. There's just something about being in nature that I find very calming.
Reading and gardening are good for me, too.
Cycling for miles and miles and miles, watching the world going by. It's a place I can be alone and forget about things and remember things. Taking new routes, exploring new areas, revisiting old favorites, and going ever onward. Soaking in the sounds, smells, and views all around me. Relying on no one but myself to be happy and finding out how far I can push myself. Seeking what's around the next curve and over the approaching hill. Feeling free.

laying on my bed with my arms outstretched in the dark with music on (quietly) in the background
that is when I give my thanks and feel centred
Rolling a joint in the bathtub with a hot and steamy lavendar extract bath and a tad bit of masturbation in the mix too ;)
Sitting in the sunshine in a beer garden somewhere with my closest friends, a pint in one hand and a cigarette in the other as we catch up after too many months spent apart while we're in uni!
Nothing makes me feel better about my life, calms me down more or makes me happier.
rainstorm (washes all the worries away), a bubble bath (only "me" time I get) and a nice glass of wine.
Going for a long night walk alone with my iPod.
