Guest Post | Happy Spot

Hi everyone!  I’m Emily and you can usually find my scribblings here.  When Mandi asked me to guest post I was really excited.  I wasn’t sure what I was going to post about though.   Last week I was in Hawaii and sitting by the pool under a palm tree I realized Hawaii (or more specifically the lounge chair where I was currently sitting) was my newest “happy spot”.  It got me thinking about my happy spots and I found my subject.

The Muffin Man – my friend and I stumbled across this little restaurant near our hotel in London.  We ate breakfast here our entire trip and the next trip to London we did the same.  It is a tiny, crowded restaurant that makes incredible paninis and really good cappuccino!  And no, breakfast is not too early to eat a panini! :)

Walt Disney World – or really any Disney park.  I think it is the instant ability to bring out the child in me.  As soon as I step onto Main Street, USA I start smiling from the inside out.

A finish line of a race – the exhilarating feeling of accomplishment when I have finished a race.  Knowing that I tried my best and pushed myself is a fantastic feeling!

A library / bookstore – when I was younger I loved the library!  All those books to read!  Lately I probably spend more time at the bookstore than the library.  Any place with lots of books is a happy spot for me.

And of course my newest happy spot – Hawaii!!  It has only been lately that I have come to appreciate a beach vacation.  Walking along the sand, playing in the pool or the ocean and just enjoying the bright colors and calming atmosphere made for a great time and my new happy spot!

Where’s your happy spot?
