This is my current happy place.
For today anyway. In life, most of us have many happy places. Today, I am content that this is mine.
I sit on my deck as the sun shines, my doge Zoe nearby. I’m reminded that life is ever so good.
It’s funny how nothing makes you appreciate home like travel. July was a literal blur. A week in London for work. A half week in Dallas to see my family. Another half week in Vegas for a basketball tournament with my son. Pack, fly, laundry, repeat.
As a mom, being on the go at this pace is hard. My hat is off to anyone that keeps this schedule typically. It’s hard to stay on top of schedules, carpools, appointments, birthdays, laundry, groceries, and the day-to-day stuff that is required to keep our collective lives thriving.
I intended to write a few blogs on various plane rides, but was distracted by life and catching up on real work from being out so much. I’m trying to just ride the wave and not sweat the delta in posts. I hope you are enjoying summer too:)
So much fun in July, but so grateful to be home this week-end. I’ve spent a lot of time in my happy place over the past few days. Chatting with girlfriends over wine, hanging out with my daughters, reading a good book, and reflecting over coffee.
You see sometimes a happy place doesn’t require anything fancy. Although a beach makes quite a nice happy place for me too.
Sometimes a happy place is the place that brings you peace, contentment, and a sense that all is well in the world (for now anyway).
I think it’s so valuable to seek a few moments – or more – in your happy place everyday. Wherever that may be.
