that place
If we are fortunate, and sadly not everyone is, each of us finds a place outside of home and outside of work that brings us peace and joy.
Sometimes it’s a nearby place, sometimes it is a far away place.
Maybe, if you’re really lucky, you have many “places”.
Wherever it is, it is a place where you feel at ease and maybe (as in my case) you’re family feels that same peace and joy there.
Having been there, I was reminded that I should remind you…go to that place.
Why?
Because it creates in you a special feeling, new or renewed thoughts, calmness…it might even have smells that bring back or create memories.
The computer is off and the phone is away.
This is not a pipe dream but rather something quite vital to your mental, physical, spiritual and emotional well being.
I’m really not kidding.
Sometimes, to get to that place, money is an issue. I respect that challenge, so I would encourage you to search for an interim place. Some place new and away from the norm that brings you peace and joy without stressing your wallet.
If you feel you don’t have time, I would like to encourage you to MAKE the time.
Life (yours or someone else’s) can end in a second.
Work is not life. Money is not life. Stress is not life. Those are mere elements of life that we each obsess over. Obsessing is not living.
Live life.
Find that place.
