Where is your happy place? If I had to pick one, it would definitely be Acadia National Park. That is where I feel most connected with nature. That is where I feel happy. Do you have a happy place? If the answer to that question is yes, then that’s awesome! I would love to hear about it in the comments below. If the answer is no, however, then read on. Finding your happy place can be quite an adventure, so before you begin, I would like to give you some advice that I hope will help you along the way. Perhaps I should start with my definition of a “happy place.” Happy Place—The place where you feel most connected, and above all happy, with God’s creation. The place you want to go to again and again. Now that we are all clear on what I mean by a “happy place,” I want you to think. Brainstorm. Grab a pen and a piece of paper and start writing down the places you love the most. Where you feel connected with nature. Hopefully you could think of a few. These places could be places like the local park, or the brook behind your house, or a favorite vacation destination. It could even be the nature section at your library, or even this blog. Now carefully consider which is your favorite. Go there. Look around. Have you found your happy place? If this is your favorite nature-full spot but you still don’t feel happy with it, maybe you have yet to visit your happy place. This journey could take days, weeks, months, or even years, but once you find your happy place, memories will be made, and you will find yourself visiting it over and over again. Why is it important? My happy place reminds me of this verse in Psalms: “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims His handiwork.” Seeing beauty in nature is also seeing the beauty in God. Finding your happy place in nature can also be finding your happy place in God. A place to pray and talk to God. A place to admire His great masterpiece. This is amazing to think about. I would LOVE to hear about your happy place in the comments below. It you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
