Happy thoughts...

annwfynA while ago I was trying to explain the concept of 'happy places' to someone. Basically, there are, in the world, a variety of places which I associate very strongly with being happy, with good things happening, with me liking the world I live in. And just being able to think about those places, to remember them, to get a mental image in my mind always makes me feel better.
And so tonight, when the world is being a weird place, and I am in a lot of pain and really am not content with the world, I have decided that I want to find some of those places and spend a bit of time inside those memories. It'll make me feel better, and it'll turn into something that no one can take away from me.
So those are five random places that make me happy. It isn't an exhaustive list - I haven't got pictures of the convent in Bolivia I fell in love with, or Streatham Ice Rink where I am almost always happy - and there are a load of other places too. But those are five places I adore and feel like sharing with the world tonight.
How about you?
