Let me take you to my ''HaPpY pLaCe''

[re-post] from little over a year ago, slightly modified though ... simply because I feel the urge to remind each and everyone of you about the importance of staying true to your dreams, keep on visualizing them, feeling them, and letting them uplift you over and over again... until little by little they become reality.

All I need to do is find a peaceful place to relax for a while,

lay back ... close my eyes ... and I'm there ...

It's a warm summer's day

the sun is shining from a bright blue sky

a light breeze is making the leaf trees come alive

happy bird song - everywhere

the smell of freshly cut grass

in the distance the seagulls are making themselves heard

a sail boat passing by 

the sweet scent of flowers in bloom

pretty butterflies and dragonflies dancing in the air

children laughing

the vague sound of a motor boat far far away

waves washing ashore

freshly brewed coffee

a good book

laughter

I smile, and think to myself - Yes, LIFE is GOOD!!

I'm lying lazily in the hammock ... taking it all in ...

overwhelmed by an immense feeling of gratitude ...

... then 'disappearing' for a while, not forgetting my book

which I can't seem to put down ...

... drawing in energy from the nature around me. I then return home to my haven of harmony completely re-energized and full of new inspiration and ideas for my creative ventures ...

... I sit down for a little bit on the porch while I sip my fresh mint tea just before ...

... taking the little one, who has merrily been playing all morning and noon for an afternoon nap ...

... contemplating whether or not I should lie down myself for a while ...

... however, am overpowered by the urge to go back outside. But before I do

I pass by the kitchen, enjoying the light

flowing in through the windows, looking out into the lushous garden ...

... and pour myself a big glass of ice-cold home made lemonade ...

... I then continue down to the dock with the

lemonade in one hand and my book in the other ...

... I pass the older children playing in the water,
happily waving and smiling at me ...

... loving the fresh sea breeze and taking it ALL in

for still a little while longer ...

... until it's time to throw together a wonderful meal in the

great company of family and friends, tons of laughter,

drinks, music. Making memories ...

... heating up the sauna for some sauna bathing, swimming, 

more socializing, great conversations, and a lot more laughter ...

... And what a lovely and perfect day it has been !! 

So why not experience the same

kind of bliss again tomorrow ?! :)

In conclusion - Dream BIG, Dream often and

BELIEVE in your Dreams.

The stronger you believe in their inevitability,

the bigger the chance that they'll come true.

Hope you enjoyed the glimpse you got of 
my  H A P P Y   P L A C E !

What's yours ?? Just think about it ... :)

Have a H A P P Y day!
