Windows open and wind in my hair as I drive weather is back!
I found a few happy music stations on Pandora that plays smiley songs, current one is Happy Radio.
The pansies I planted in flower boxes last month took root nicely and now, when I open the door, all the lovely fragrance pushes in and fills the room, I love that.

Sending caring to all posters who need it today.

1. Seeing other people happy.

2. My local minor league baseball stadium. I love getting there and knowing the only thing I have to worry about for the next few hours is hoping it’s a good game.

3. The Mr Rogers figurine my Mom got me for Christmas.

Hugs from my family

The topic of today's shares absolutely brought me an immediate in general and as added thanks for each of you!

God's presence in my life always makes me smile with reverent thanks. Dad, a little while ago, received a most welcome call from a doctor that was beyond reason for and above all else, a most heartfelt prayer, with a smile on my face, of course, of thank You Jesus!

Definitely happy kiddos and dogs.
Happy
Kind acts of faith all around
Each new day

Seeing our street more purple with Jacaranda Trees.

God Bless your new grandchild, Grandma OHmomof2. An extra smile to me came from reading that the baby was born on June 7th. I believe from Heaven that made my beloved Grandpa smile as he celebrated his own 103rd birthday.

Tink-osophy's super sweet Snoopy for our friend WDWEPCOT! My own hug added, of course, always.

Countless others! A kind, genuine smile is forever meant to be shared. Thank you all always for passing one on every day!

TGIF DIS Friends

#1 - I’m grateful for my pool (if it’d ever get warm enough to use it) - floating and reading is my most relaxation happy place.

#2 - I’m grateful for the Monastery that I go to many Thursday mornings - I go for confession and Eucharistic Adoration. I love sitting there in the quiet with our Lord while taking that time to pray The Rosary.

#3 - I’m grateful for a local life size Stations of the Cross - it’s a one mile walk that is amazing to see. I have a special booklet that I take with me, even though there is a recording at each station for those that want to listen (I like me booklet better). This walk can be relaxing and emotional at the same time. i don’t go here all the time, but I do when I’m having stresses and I went a few days before my vacation. I do find this walk very relaxing.

my first thought was BEACH then BEACH and then BEACH followed by house on the ( wait for it ) BEACH

Seems like an oxymoronic statement. But I’ll say WDW - after you have been so many times you do relax when you go - pool Cabana day - resort day ! Shopping day !

Disney Cruises - very relaxing and fun ! Yes you can be busy OR you can lounge and spa ! I’m a lounge & spa person with a drink in my hands !! waiting for Port to go to the BEACH

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Don’t you all dare say snow day

We take time to relax every trip and actually spend a lot of time in the villa, too. We have as much fun lounging and going to the pool as we do the parks!

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Right ! As I’ve gotten older less Park time more resort time

 

[newski_mom]

1. I have to agree with (pretty much) everyone - BEACH!
2. Our favorite way to get to the beach - Cruises - so relaxing because you can do as little or as much as you want!
3. Your picture just is natural beauty to me - waterfalls - I don't get to see them too often and they are just amazing to me! So majestic!

 

[nw6675]

Speaking of waterfalls...beautiful, but not relaxing...when I was in elementary school we went to Pagsanjan Falls in the Philippines. You actually raft through the fall. It hurts lol!

Weeeeell, I was a teacher for many years.

Seriously, though...

I agree with the beach. I didn't grow up near the ocean, and I love being close enough now to just go for the day, or even half the day.

And one very specific one: Watkins Glen State Park (NY) - I've hiked there as a child and as an adult, and it is up there on my list of happy places.

I lived two years in Ithaca and 5 years in Syracuse; I LOVE Watkins Glen!

I will keep this trend going... The Beach. I spent my summers in York Beach, Maine, and my mom moved there eventually. My brother, my sister, and nieces and nephews live there. DH and I rent a cottage for 1-2 weeks every summer, just a 1 block walk to the beach. It is so incredibly relaxing and peaceful to walk on the sand with my morning coffee (or evening beverage, hahaha), and from the cottage we can listen to the ocean roar, smell the sea in the air. It's just soooooo calming.

I'll also agree with finding Disney calming. Over the past few years we've become less and less park-focused. I love being at Disney, eating at Disney, but also relaxing by the pools, riding the ferry/boats, and just taking our time roaming around and taking it all in. Favorite place to stay is AKL/Jambo but we also really enjoy BWI and SSR.

I love to sit out on my deck on a sunny afternoon and read. All by myself!
