There is a “Happy Place” for each of us. It is the place we can go, no matter what is happening in our lives, and we find peace there. For me, a happy place can be defined as the quality of being contended. I consider my home my happy place because I always feel contended, bliss-filled, and worry-free. It’s a place where I can find happiness in little things, a place where I am comfortable in my own skin, a place where ideas and positive vibes are welcomed, a judgment-free place, a place where love is given and taken unconditionally and a place where I am by myself and enjoy every moment of it.
