Seeing an elderly couple walking down the street hand in hand and imagining all the struggle and adversity they have braved through, and yet they are still together. It always gives me hope during times of personal stress.

The doctors didn't know if my eyes would ever heal."

It gives me alot of satisfaction to see how EVERYONE is "Awesome" on facebook - it is so reassuring....
poetry gives me satisfaction and of course the company of people. one can never beat a good company with a good banter
it may never try
but when it does it sigh
it is just that
good

Getting my entrance scholarship renewed every year, cutting my tuition by two thirds. With the provincial grant I barely have to pay anything. I get smug when people at my university complain about how our unusual grading system makes it difficult to reach the GPA cut-off for renewal.
As an optimist, I try to be a tad less cynical. Even if they did meet at a community center a week ago, the fact that they can find company at a time when most people their age are suffering chronic depression as a result of loneliness speaks volumes in regards to good possibilities.

Is the banter a studded leather one and do you use it across the back of their legs?one can never beat a good company with a good banter

That's satisfying! - back of the legs with wet noodles..
But it sounds like you're applying a stereotype about old people to that particular scenario (even if it statistically true that old people are disproportionately lonelier). Many old people live with dementia - does this mean we should congratulate those old people who can remember their relatives' names? It just seems condescending to assume so much about their lives by what you see in a single moment.
As mentioned by Adolescent09, seeing an elderly couple walking down the street hand in hand. My grandparents, too! The majority of elderly couples have been through so much, and they have stuck together through each experience! They have a lifetime of memories, many of which they share. I know from my grandparents that they may be incredibly grumpy at times and argue a lot, but their love runs deep. It's beautiful.
Spending time with my own boyfriend also fills me with satisfaction. Making him smile, supporting him through difficult times and sharing new experiences with him. I love making others happy. This goes for my friends and family too. I adore talking to them about in depth topics. I can and do talk to my closest friends about the things which trouble me and I offer support to them when their lives trouble them. Supporting one another is incredibly satisfying.
I also gain satisfaction from work and working hard. Most of my experiences so far have been in school and at University; each year, I have worked harder and this has led to better results. I would rather gain good results through hard work instead of through luck! Last year, I trained to be a teacher, which was incredibly challenging but, again, extremely rewarding. I couldn't imagine a life without work. Work makes each day feel worthwhile - the days off too! Days off are put to better use when you work; when every day is a day off, it can be disheartening and motivating yourself to do something can be difficult. (P.S. teachers' holidays are time away from the classroom; I am going to spend 3 weeks planning my lessons for the first half term over summer!

My satisfaction comes from the pieces of affection I can find in new friends and lovers. The very few bites of love I can get out of it all. It's those pieces, and the want for those pieces that stop me from pulling the trigger... But then, I guess I'm never truly satisfied, am I?

I think "Self satisfaction" is the key to get satisfied. Human beings want everything in their life. They want more and more even they have get their desired stuff. I enjoy in my own world. That's satisfaction for me!
A true friend or someone I can rely on or partner with to share something I deeply believe in or someone I can turn to or talk to when I really want when swayed by a spurt of emotion or joy or pain.
Satisfaction is something we feel in the brains and it is more of a psychological issue and less of the bodily one.
