Find Your Happy Place

Saturdays are so sweet. Most of us are off work and able to indulge in some "cheat day" activities. COVID-19 has certainly changed the ways we enjoy our free time. As the vaccines become more available, sheltering in place is succumbing to cabin fever. I am not passing judgment on anyone,  but this disease is not worth the health risks for temporary pleasure.  However, I'm a firm believer in finding your happy place. Everyone should have a place of rest, peace, and safety. Oprah famously stated that " your home should rise up to you". The pandemic has highlighted this beliefs as homes are being bought, repaired, and upgraded. People who generally commute or travel for contract work had to face the reality of working from home. I can say that most of my friends understand and respect the coronavirus policies and procedures. Everyone also understands that if they need the love, light, and positivity that my home provides,  they are welcome. It's funny because everyone who visits me talks about how comfortable and relaxed they feel. They love the fact that I always have plenty of water(Aquarius....and my name is Monica ♒♒♒) drinks, food, and festive conversation. Whether it's a brief encounter or a full blown counseling session, people always feel better when they leave. People always say that they see me in everything from the construction to the style to the decorations of my home. Personally, I feel like I'm an island girl. Sun, sand, and cool drinks is definitely more my personal preference.  But I try to impact any environment that I am in. You can't make anyone be happy, but you can find your bliss filled location to safely and securely unwind. If you don't have that now, it's not too late. You can always start again and elevate your circumstances.  If you need help identifying your peace points, seek professional help.  I promise you, it's worth the work. Where's your happy place? Have you found it? Did you create that space for yourself? Share your comments below. Thank you for stopping by. Stay safe,  warm and healthy.  Take Care and God Bless!!!
