Hmm -- I don't know that my 'happy place' is an actual place. But there are times, when a feeling of contentment, peace, and happiness comes over me. Ususally, I'm alone, and it's a place I find incredibly beautiful. Sometimes when I'm out on a walk-- I don't know exactly how to describe it, but it's like my eyes are opened a bit wider, and I take in the world around me a little more than usual. I have felt it skiing -- in the breath-taking snow covered mountains. I have a wonderful feeling of peace, and happiness, when I'm shushing down a mountainside. I guess it's the spiritual side in my that comes out.
Once, a long time ago, before marriage and all that, I had a boyfriend dump me. I was completely broken-hearted. I cried my heart out. And I also prayed my heart out. I didn't know what else to do. And I remember laying in bed one night, after I had prayed, and was crying again, and a feeling of warmth came over me. I could literally feel my heart warming -- like it was mending. I knew then that everything would be ok. God was with me -- He was comforting me. It's times like these, when I can feel the closest to God--- whever ever I may be -- this is my happy place.
God bless all of you, who take the time to come to this site, to care for others, and to share a part of yourself.
