Everyone needs to have a “happy place” where they can go to at anytime of day or night to escape from just about anything . A happy place can be anywhere, anything, i mean, whatever you want it to be. You could be sitting at your desk at work , swamped with piles of stuff to do and just need an escape, you could be stuck in the middle of traffic, or just plain tired, having the worse day of your life and just need an escape… so, just go ahead and do it. Escape.
Right now i just escaped, and was greeted by Eli’s happy face, then turned out to be sounds of his belly laugh , and that just became my moment… it put a little smile on my face. My happy places change all the time. Sometime i find myself placing myself in the set of my favorite movie, and just take that moment to goof off 
You may be thinking this is crazy, but happy places=happy moments= free therapy or no therapy at all.
I am planning on a trip home this coming year, so this has been an exciting time for me. I have been escaping to memory lane and just re-living great moments from my last trip home. I have been picturing how it will be for the boys, and how everyone back home will be excited to meet them for the first time.
My husband’s happy places always end up with laughter. We could be sitting together watching a movie, or just playing with the boys and he will crack up laughing, and when we ask him what’s so funny, he will start a long spill of ” i just remembered…. ” and the joke is shared.
So, as for you, you can have your many happy places to go too, there go ahead and escape to your happy place. Do this whenever you need it as we all know life can be too hectic sometime that we forget to stop and smell the roses.
Have a happy place and a happy new year!
