Stress is an uninvited guest there, and is not welcome on the boat. I have no idea why sitting on the boat with the wind wiping my hair around makes me so happy, or why the complete terror of watching my children get tossed around like dolls on a inflated tube brings total bliss. But it does.
Everyone should have a happy place. Everyone should have somewhere in the word that gently calls them back time and time again. My special place has her work cut out for her this time, there is a lot I need her to fix, but I know she can handle it. We have an understanding.
I do my part by sharing her with my children so they will know where to find peace and calm in this world, and she dries my tears, fixes me when I am broken, fills up my bucket and sends me home able to carry on until I return again next year.
I can't wait!

Today:
I am grateful for time off.
I am grateful the children are home tonight! I have missed them so badly.
I am grateful.

Enjoy your time off Joelle. You deserve it. :)
I loved that first paragraph so much.
You painted that picture in my mind so well, It certainly seems like a place to heal your soul.
Enjoy yourself my friend. We'll be missing you on the radio but also be glad you're at your happy place. Have fun.
Hey friend! Enjoy your time away. Recharge, refill, relax. Can't wait to hear all about it when you get back. Take a break from the blog as well this week, focus on your happy place, and internalize it. I'm sure your other readers won't hate me for saying that! ;)
