What is your 'happy' place?

[MerMom60_94]

Last year when my father was dying I was very stressed out. I used to tell my DH, "if I don't come home some night you'll know it's because I continued on the highway to the airport and caught a flight to Disney! Look for me in a bench in Epcot. That's where I'll be - my happy place!" That is also when I started spending a lot of time on the Dis because it helped me escape and brought my mind to where I was happy. So,

1. Epcot
2. My backyard during the summer sitting by the pool on a beautiful day / evening
3. My wintertime happy place is in my kitchen baking. When I bake it brings me to a very calm state. It helps me work through whatever is on my mind.

A few years ago I went to visit an internet friend in SoCAl and we drove up the coast. We stopped to eat in a restaurant on the beach in Delmar and I was so happy to be on the beach, I nearly cried right there.

So when I am feeling down or ready to scream about being stuck on the freaking prairie, I go to my memory of sitting on that beach.

There are quite a few... many at WDW...

One of them takes me back to early January, on a unseasonably warm morning. The sun is just rising over Caribbean Beach Resort, and I am walking all alone from the food court with perfectly warm tea in my resort mug. As I cross the bridge towards our room, in the sky coming almost right over us are a dozen or more hot air balloons. For whatever reason, it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. It was as though there was nobody else on earth but me and those hot air balloons.

Another is Vegas... just being there with my DH. We always have so much fun there together. It truly transforms us when we are there. We seem to have fun more, laugh more, are romantic more, and just different.

My happy place is Disney. Specifically, I dream of swinging in a hammock at the Poly, gazing across Seven Seas Lagoon at the Castle.

Anywhere in WDW.. I was going to try and pinpoint a place, but I can't...

Daydreaming about future trips.. like Hawaii and Disneyland

and here on the DIS... it's a nice place to talk about things you love with people who understand! was that too sappy?

Either walking down Main Street with the castle in view in front of me...or sitting on a beach in St Kitts with a Mojito in my hand.
