Outside with my geese and chickens they don’t demand to much from me and I don’t have to where N95.
Walking by Lake Michigan or back in the woods enjoying the simplicity of nature.
In the garden. Plants are quiet. The sounds of birdsong and a breeze in the trees. My sanity saver…
Hugging my son and being with my husband!! Chocolate helps too!!!
Hiking with my husband. Just being outside. No other people in sight. Occasionally seeing rabbits, deer, foxes. No monitor alarms.
On the sofa under a throw or blanket watching comedy such as Schitt’s Creek
After a rough day at work, I head for the barn and the horses. That’s my happy place.
out on the water on a sailboat!! what happens on shore, stays on shore! the wind, the sun, the spray all work to refresh my soul
My happy place is to remember watching baby bears and their mama in Denali Park in Alaska they were playing and mama would turn and growl at them when they were lagging behind it was so peaceful and beautiful
ROADTRIP……..ANYWHERE!!!!!!
On the Motorcycle, getting important “Wind Therapy” no feeling like it in the world!!! Every worry drops off like the miles you leave behind.
Many places: on the beach with my music knowing no one and/or snuggling with my kids (pups) watching classic movies and most importantly turning off ALL technology except the TV.
Immediately in my robe relaxing in the recliner with a cup of ☕️ coffee!!
On my back patio with a glass of wine looking at the nature. The day is just starting, while I just finished my night. And a phone call to a friend, then I’m good!
On the beach in Maui , watching the beautiful, majestic humpback whale breaching !!!!!
In my bed fluffed pillows, good read and some ASMR to help me relax as working nights makes it difficult to fall asleep in the sunlight.
What is ASMR?
Out at the stables with the 🐎
At the barn brushing my horse
Home on the weekend under the covers watching old movies all day. Taking no phone calls, accepting no visitors.
On the beach,with a drink and no children.
Coffee and a book plus not working the next day
Anywhere my husband of 30+ years is. ?
