So I am having one of those days- just started out as a negative Ness. Anyway, I got to thinking I have no problem remembering or dwelling on the negative but I have a harder time mustering up the positive ( I am
Sure this should be in the positive thread) I came across a meditation activity where you more or less go to your 'happy place'
So I sat and attempted it and it was delightful.
I am 8 years old swinging on an old wooden swing that my Papa made while talking to my Grandmum, she is busy hanging laundry out and the air is filled with the scent of snuggle and lilacs and I hear the boats out on the lake.
Lol ahhh anyone care to share their 'happy place'

My parent's cabin on the lake. I'm there with my childhood friends around a fire telling stories and roasting marshmallows.
Actually, that happy place will be realized when we go up there Saturday!

My happy place , anywhere with dh . Pulling an engine, cutting his hair, riding in the truck, folding laundry. Anything. Just so long as I'm close enough to reach him.

Thanks! And I'm one of those impatient roasters who just lets it burn and then squeeze it between the graham cracker. That and a pack of baby wipes nearby and I'm golden!

Spending time with my grandparents would have to be my happiest place since they are both in heaven now. I have such fond memories of them
Or on the beach in Mexico with my husband on our honeymoon
or with my kids at disney (the last hasnt happened yet so thats more of a "dream" I guess)

I'm a re-roaster. I roast, pull off the shell roast again, and repeat. Lol. I can get usually 4 roastings from each mallow. LolThanks! And I'm one of those impatient roasters who just lets it burn and then squeeze it between the graham cracker. That and a pack of baby wipes nearby and I'm golden!

I will have to try this next time as I'm a marshmallow burner and HATE when the inside is still cold!
