When my friends have to do something unpleasant or uninteresting or just plain un-fun, I always tell them to go to a happy place. "Close your eyes, plug your ears, and murmur, happy place, happy place!" This usually gets a snicker, but it does tend to work. In random order, here are my top ten "happy places". (Plus, I just love to make lists.)
Any memory that includes my grandpa.
Dining at Zingerman's Roadhouse
My wedding day (I know, super sappy)
Visiting the cider mill with my mom
Flipping channels and finding a Humphrey Bogart movie
Driving through wine country
Eating chocolate chip cookies that just came out of the oven
Stopping at a sidewalk cafe in Paris for a nightcap
Finding a new favorite book, one that just leaves me awestruck
Sunday mornings with G--homemade muffins and scrambles and cups of joe

how about enjoying the news that a former co-worker got the job where we used to work and now has his own office!
woo hoo!
my first official day on the payroll is labor day monday, my first week is a four day work week. ah, i consider that a good good sign.
I'm so glad I made the list~!
Fall's coming - it's almost time to go there again.
I am getting caught up on your Blog after a long time. Blame it on YouTube. I've missed a lot!
I like your happy places list. Along with places, I have a similar thing with music. There are certain albums I listen to for snapping out of some mood, or navigating an existential crisis, or doing the darn dishes. A few select songs work for all three.
