Since we're talking about happy places and stories, where's you're happy place? What puts you there?

For me, it's when I get into the "zone" when I'm playing guitar. It's a place where I'm totally relaxed without a care in the world. I can often close my eyes and play for 1/2 hr and be right at peace. It's totally relaxing.

So, what puts you into you're "happy place"?

Nice thread.

I have several. Braco Lido in Jamaica, will be there in 6 days. It is so nice and happy I am ready to come home in 7 days. But I look forward to going back every year. This office (at home) is a happy place and FF is a pretty happy place almost all the time.

Humm, I have several bars with many friends and they are happy. My far garage is great and very nice when I hide out there and work on stuff or watch TV. My pool and back yard. Damn, I am a lucky guy I just keep thinking of happy places. :biggrin:

Great Question! . Panama for one . Idaho in the back country for another . Being with good friends is great anytime .

I would have to say "being outdoors " has got to be one of my favorite "Happy Places" .

I was originally going to say being out at camp during the summer but I figured it's a close second. I can be all frustrated and stressed when I get home from work. Some days, I'll walk in, take the boots and jacket off, head downstairs and pick up the guitar and play for a bit just to relax and unwind.

It is not a happy place when I try to play my guitar . I took 4 years of lessons and I still stink !

I, like many other members on here and NTT, find a happy place on the seat of a reliable tractor.
Steam shows, that sort of thing allow me to forget the here and now for a while.
I spend time in my garage listening to the radio, in thought, or actually working on something.
I'll think of more as time goes on.
Great thread!!

I guess I could say the same thing about when I'm out in the trail groomer for hours on end. I find it relaxing. Sitting there with a cup of hot coffee, radio cranked, heat on, on a slow scenic tour of the countryside around these parts.

Ditto TN.... Spending so much time away from home these days, quite often my thoughts take me there. There's nothing like it. :smile:

Once a year we load up the quads and tents and ride 12 miles into the bush on old trails to spend a week of fishing. Ages this year ranged from my Dad @ 84 and nephew who was 5.

my happy place is wherever i am at as long as any or all 3 of my grandkids are there. and of course when i am with my wife. i love her so much. we spend a lot of time together these days since we are both on disability and at home a lot. i was afraid we would get tired of each other but i think we are closer now than at any time in the 27 years we have been together. one other place is forumsforums with all my friends.

Just being out here at the ranch. It has been a magical place ever since I was a little kid visiting grandparents. I am still awed when I am here. Here's a photo I took yesterday.

This is my REAL happy place to get off to.
And, I am not ashamed to admit it either.

Also, there is a stream down the road where Gretchen and I walk, it's quiet and just on the outskirt of town, and has a path. She loves to sniff and explore and it clears my head.
I'll take a snap of it next time.
