Shiny happy places

[vanillafluffy]

List ten things that are your current happy places. You know, the thing you retreat to doing or reading or watching or thinking about or whatever when you need to get away from all the things that are conspiring against you. The images you conjure when you close your eyes and chant "go to your happy place, go to your happy place". Those.

1. My shower. Because it's August and I live in Florida.
2. The beach...sometimes literally---it's less than an half-hour away---and sometimes as the thing I try to lull myself to sleep with: the sound of the waves....
3. Doing something crafty...because it's a kind of meditation AND there's usually something shiny to show for it.
4. My imagination, because whether I'm plotting a WIP or mentally inventing Mr Right, or organizing my dream home, it helps take me away from gruelling reality.
5. The people who love me, even when I don't love myself.
6. Supernatural, which seems to be an infinitely fertile fandom!
7. A thrift store with money in my pocket is paradise...even if I don't find/buy anything, there are always possibilities.
8. A good book...I have a lot of books I've read time and again, and I'm always looking for new and interesting stories.
9. Comfort food including but not limited to BACON (as dine points out, it improves almost everything) mac and cheese, meatloaf and potatoes---just about any way you can fix them, EXCEPT trying to bake them in the microwave because they're NASTY that way. Chocolate*---particularly dark chocolate in conjunction with raspberries and marzipan. Or ice cream.
10. Right here: this chair in front of my computer, mouse at my right hand and phone on my left.

And I'm SOOOOO jealous that you live near a beach.

Because that would be TOO decadent!

I get there maybe 1-2 times a year, usually when schnauzer-sitting.

Mmmm, it's salty AND sweet!

Only? Wow. I'd be LIVING on the beach during the summer, if I could. ;)

Nah, too hot. I prefer the more temperate months of October-April. (It's also less crowded with teen nympets in butt-floss swimsuits.)

Likewise---together OR separately!
