My Happy Place

When I think of places that make me happy,

I think of sunshine; water; and mountains.

Beaches, evergreen trails, and fishing.

Lake Michigan, the Texas Gulf Coast, and rocky waterfalls.

The smell of salt air, mountain sage, and pine forests;

Wild roses, Autumn aspen, and horses.

The sounds of laughter and hilarity

Ocean waves, a campfire, and rain.

These are all in my heart; forever memories.

Happy places with happy humans whom I love;

And happy furries who have loved me.

I can honestly say

Wherever I am

I'm in my happy place.

It is Good

When you can look at your art

Your song, your poem,

Your story, your invention,

Your painting, your decorating,

Your business idea, your sewing

Your creativity of some "thing"

And admire it

And honestly say

"It is good!"

You are participating in

the continuing joy and celebration

of the Creator of the Universe

And you now know you have been

Gifted something beautiful

That becomes a gift to others.

It is good.

So are you!

And God saw that it was good. (Genesis 1:12)
