My Happy Place

Okay...Just wondering...

Where is your happy place???

The place you go in your mind when all about you is screaming for attention

...The place of peace and tranquility

    ...The place where all your worries are washed away and replaced with perfect contentment

        ...The place where you pause and reflect...smile and reminisce...giggle within...and laugh outloud

My happy place is a real place...the place that brings my family together...for just a short while.

Come share my happy place...

I love the smell of honeysuckle...the salt-sea air...the cool walk in the morning as the mists from the waves tickle my ankles...the wind in my hair

For weeks before I anticipate the early morning time with my Creator. 

Like Father, Like Son (Can't imagine what these two are talking about)
In those quiet moments, I say nothing.  I am in awe of the vastness of God's incredible creation.  The fact that the tide is consistent-always the same-in a world that is constantly changing, gives me hope in the existence of Someone bigger than you and I.  Someone who like the tide is always the same, yesterday, today, and forever.  That is my hope.  That, too, is my happy place.

I can't believe this is the only photo that I got this year.  This was riverfront, not oceanfront.  Somehow all my beach photos got wiped out.  I had pictures of the ocean in the late evening.  Beautiful!
(My son and daughter-in-love, my precious husband, the most consistent man I have even known, Vintagegirl901, my beautiful daughter and son-in-love- They are MY HAPPY PLACE!)

I hope you'll visit and share your happy place!

  3. This is a delightful and encouraging post as we are passing through a crazy storm right now. My hope is in the Lord, and no place better to be than under His wings!

  4. Yes, we had a nasty storm yesterday too. When I was a little girl and was afraid of bad weather, I would sing, "Til the Storm Passes By," an old gospel song. Now there have been different storms in my adult life and I still sing, "Lord, keep me safe til the storm passes by."

    He always does:)
