Okay imagine this:

The kids are all gone, the dishes are washed and put away, there are no bills to pay, no where you have to be, you have your health, the sun is shining with no rain (or snow) on the horizon, the world is at peace.

Everything is perfect! Now, what do you want to do?

What is your happy place? What would make you calm and at peace?

Let us know!

I would be on the boat, with my husband...A slow pace, the waves rockin' the boat (or something like that), face turned up to the sun, soaking it in.

Thanking the Good Lord that I was alive and healthy, and I have this time in this moment.

sitting in the sunshine in the backyard with a new book, my hubby beside me and all of my kids well and whole playing around us.
(I say well and whole, because Wally, our 8 year old, got his forearms broken yesterday at school, and it's killing me to see him with those da** casts on him!)

Hmmm....I would either be reading a book, or outside doing something like looking at the stars or gardening, or just watching ants go by in the dirt while soaking up the sun.

I have a very happy place that is far up north close to the Canadian border. It's beautiful when the leaves are changing and I feel a great peacefulness there. I hope I'll get another chance to visit there this year and this time I'll take time to walk around the lakes and sit and enjoy the sunshine....

My happy place is...being with hubby, cruisin' down the highway on our motorcycle, listening to music on the headphones, smilin' and enjoying life.

My happy place is a pub in a small town in the Scottish Highlands. There's a pint glass sitting in front of me, half-filled with some brown ale. The mood in the pub is jovial.

I hope to physically go to that happy place when I take a trip to Scotland.

St Augustine, FL in september walking on the beach at sunset with my hubby and our 4 beautiful curtin climbers.

Maggie Valley, NC in October sitting on the front porch of our condo watching golfers go by and the leaves change.

Ahhhhhhhh.

We have a cove on our property that we built a wooden deck and put in a small pond with a waterfall. It is surrounded by dogwoods, redbuds and foliage natural to the area. There are all kinds of birds. My husband and I like to sit there together with the dogs lying at our feet. It is a very peaceful spot. In fact, our daughter was married in our cove on a spring afternoon when the trees were in full flower. It was a beautiful ceremony.

My happy place is....sitting on a river bank listening to the water rush by. Very relaxing and I try to get down to the river I go to as often as I can!

I go back to our woods and sit by the stream with a book. The horse grazes in an open area just a few feet away. The cat sits at my feet and I listen to the birds and the breeze. One day I was sitting with my book and I heard the sound of many a foot step in the brush behind me. They stopped. Something snorted, then took off in another direction. I went in the direction I thought they were going and caught up to them just as they were leaping over the fence. Two big beautiful deer. They had run up right behind me and I was so still and quiet they didn't know I was there untill I was right in front of them. It really had my heart racing with excitement.

I have a place. . .
a place I go. . .
a place I seek . . .
and to where I travel in my mind
Where a stream falls hundreds of feet, over a cliff.
At the base, I am... in a small glen, through which the stream laughs and giggles
as it joyously runs off into the enchanted woods around me.
The sun is bright, with the trees breaking it's light and making thousands of jovial little patterns on everything in sight. . . Moving, ever moving...
I'm sitting on a rock by the stream, dangling my fingertips in the cool, clear water.
All the while, listening to the sound of the waterfall, the brook, and the birds that are all around.
I close my eyes, and lean my head back, loving this place, this day... in all its glory.

I go there in my mind when I really want to escape this world. The waterfall tends to quickly drown out the noise of the real world

Time to spare, in good health, don't have kids anyway, money in the sporran.........
.......... I'd immediately pop off to "the misty Isle" for walking and after that let my eyes wander over the sea though the window of the shelterpub in Ardvasar, while listening to the music and stories of the guests. Ardvasar Hotel& pub and Skye...... pure magic.

I'd like to go east just now...have always wanted to see what Fall looked like when it was REALLY Fall and now I have too many friends telling me all sorts of things about the colors and smells of Fall...so...today my happy place would be in ... Pennsylvania or some such!!

Posted by: Ceciliastar1 25-Sep-2005, 02:18 PM

Happy place... makes me think of Happy Gilmore... he he/

Ok but my happy place. I have two.

The first is on top of the highest Sand Dune overlooking lake Michigan. There are a few trees there so if it's too hot there is always shade. You can hear the waves of the lake. The sky is so close because you're so high up. The breeze rustles through the trees and the birds chirp beautiful music. I love climbing the sand dune and just sitting at the top overlooking the beach and thinking about nothing. Worrying about nothing. Doing nothing. Just being alive is enough.

My second happy place is also on a beach. But it's in Ireland. The beach at Rossbeigh in Killorglin, County Kerry. It is on the other side of Dingle Bay. You can see far out into the ocean and on a clear day you can watch the dolphins. When I went to Rossbeigh, it was the first time I saw the ocean. It's a smaller beach with a nice fishing town next to it. It's not a big tourist spot. It was sooooo beautiful and peaceful. Thinking about it makes me sad, I want to go back so bad...I did not mean for that to rhyme. haha!

Sigh, happy place...
