This week has been uncharacteristically quiet on C&C, I believe it’s the first time since I started the blog that I haven’t posted in an entire week. Blame it on the end of Stampede (we had a great weekend touring my parents around though) or the fact that I received an operational nightmare/disaster last Friday that has taken the entire week to fix (this is when being on call 24/7 kinda sucks…), Throw in the new business startup and I’m FULL UP and kinda zapped on the creative side. So I threw it out there on Facebook and you lovely folks came back with so many ideas to get me back on track doing what I love. So trust me there will be posts to follow!
But this got me thinking about when things get rough how I look for light at the end of the tunnel or the “happy” place I go to when the insanity meter is on HIGH. Â I realized it’s not a mountain top with an amazing view, or a sunset while sitting in the ocean on a surfboard although I’ve been so fortunate to experience both of those. But quite simply this picture couldn’t explain it any better, it makes my heart smile and my mind quiet. Â My question is where is the place you go?
Beautifully put and made me think! If I go to the island, I’m surrounded by family and obligations (I know that sounds terrible but there are sooooo many Salmon’s there that visitation musts are never ending). If I go to the mountains…still so much to do that I drive myself to distraction…so my happy place is Calgary, believe it or not. I have all my favorite places and I can relish in sweet anonymity! And a rodeo or two 😉
Thanks Suzie! It’s not always the most beautiful or relaxing place that brings peace, but it’s so important for a person to have a place 🙂
My most happy place is on the couch, curled up with my Hubby and my pup, watching a happy tear jerker. Pathetic, but a place I feel safe and loved.
Not Pathetic! A Happy Place doesn’t have to have epic scenery or an exotic flair. It’s about being feeling YOU and what makes your soul content. There can be no better place than that!
Love this photo of you. Walking down a gravel road, by myself or pushing a stroller is one of the places that seems to put things into perspective the most.
Thanks, a walk or a ride always seems to clear one’s mind 🙂
