Where do you feel most centered and happy?

with my 7 cats

I am happy and at peace when I am near a body of water. The beach, a lake, a pond, a river, a waterfall, a water fountain, a bathtub full of bubbles, a pool, a shower……. The sound of water is so comforting and soothing to me. I also love long nature walks and listening to the sounds of the trees, insects and animals.

Camping in the woods by myself! Just walking trails and spending quality time to hit the reset button and relax. I always come back feeling refreshed.

On occasion, I feel the most centered when I am at the bookstore. I just grab a book, sit, read and drink my coffee. I can escape to another world for a few hours. Its calming because of the quiet and relaxing to be in another space. There are no interruptions, no stress and overall happiness.

With my family, no matter where we live.

With my beautiful (and so damn intelligent, basically the opposite of myself, lol) wife Linda when we’re babysitting our first grandchild (perfect lil guy named Leonard nicknamed LL) regardless if he’s having a blowout or calm (95% calm to 5% blowout) IN MY WORLD

In my wood shop creating something. Allowing my mind to stay to a focused path to a productive end product. Flushing clear of past problems. Conformity out of what can become a scrambled mess.

To be 100% honest, it is when I am in bed at night, knowing I made it through another day of memories , failures and successes.

today i feel the most happy if I wake up for anotherday in my man cave with my dogs ...thats my place to pray and give thanks...luis cota [login to see] 1963 disabled vet...loveland co.
