My warm and happy place

[Deleted member 37474]

I love to sit alone or with my dog on the leather couch in flannel pjs at Christmas time with my fuzzy blanket watching the Christmas lights twinkle. A fire crackling in the fireplace. Warm cocoa or milk.

Sitting cross legged on the sofa with the door open to the back garden on a warm evening, feeling the breeze and hearing it in the trees and the wind chime. Seeing the sun turn the clouds pink and orange & the birds eating the cherries. With ylang ylang in the oil burner.
Bliss

It makes me feel so warm and happy to read this. Thank you!

Thank you for the thread @TexCat :-)
Nice to think about!
I'll pick another
In the local outdoor swimming pool on a sunny day when the children are still all in school. Floating on my back, bobbing gently by the movement of the water, hearing muffled by your ears being in it. Seeing nothing but blue sky above you and being totally relaxed and supported.

Being in nature, with my dog. Walking, hearing nature in all it's contentedness . The bees and butterflys doing their job on the wild flowers... hearing the cows and donkeys further back in the pastures. or even better when they come to the fence..The birds , especially the crows, fussing because I am possibly close to a nest....
It's busy, but nature busy, not human busy... and very relaxing. I actually breathe.

Being held by someone I'm allowed to bite :D :sneaky: :smug:

On adventures with my kid :inlove:

On a good horse, in an empty lineup, sitting at the top of a run both boots locked onto my board watching the sun rise over snowfields, highway sliding beneath my ass w/ horizons stretched out before me, face down getting a massage, first time & f*ck it thrilling leaps, music pounding so loud I can feel it in my bones, feet kipped up on my railing leaning back into a good book, tacking into a storm, new people & places & languages, that first sigh of home walking in the front door, drinking & cooking with friends, cheek pressed into the butt stock and exhale.

Sitting in my armchair in front of a warm fire with a cup of hot tea in one hand and a favourite book in the other.

Walking in the woods, no people about, listening to birdsong and breathing in the woodland smells. Even better if it has recently rained.

My rocker/ recliner in the bedroom corner. It has a special back support pillow and is by the window, so I can look out at the trees in the summer or the mountains in the winter. Rocking is so comforting. Also, it is the place where I do most of my praying, reading and sometimes just relaxing. I rarely recline it, as my physical therapist told me that recliners are really bad for your back. My back has gotten better with the help of a chiropractor, that special support pillow and not reclining, so I am happy. I have my radio by there too, so I can listen to it if I like.

Sitting on my back porch overlooking our little lake as a storm rolls through. And as the sun comes back out watching a rainbow miraculously appear. (just happened on Saturday)

Taking a leisurely walk through the woods with my guy.

Reading in bed with fresh, clean sheets.

Hanging out with my Dad and listening to awesome stories about him growing up.

Kayaking in the early morning hours as the sun comes up.

Nice thread, thanks!!

That moment when you are with your husband and you hear the kids coming up the stairs and you just don't care.;)

Near the streams of water & trees forming a hideout. Under the trees, quite often. The more hiding I can be, the better.

Near cats or feeding birds.

Churches & shrines of all sorts.

Ideally, in the air, on the sea & on the road, wind the wind & speed.
