Happy Places

 “Just for a moment, amid all the bad stuff, this was a happy place again.”

McDonald's is a brilliant marketer. 

They took a hamburger, fries, and drink and re-branded it as a "happy meal."  Sometimes, you even got a toy with it.  They took the "every day" and made it something special.  No matter what kind of day you were having, a happy meal always made it better. 

Do you have a "happy place?"  

I know, happiness is a mindset and not necessarily connected to a physical place but we all have those special places where we are insulated from the real world. Where the monsters under our bed can't get us.  Where the darkness doesn't exist.  

I can honestly say, most of my happy places are more closely associated with the people who I am with but there are these special places that just seem different when I am there. 

Having "happy places" is a healthy concept.  Whether you have talked yourself into the magic of the location or not, it's important to spend time there. 

Life is beautiful but can be hard. 

Life is play but takes work. 

We all need our "happy places." 

"Can you supersize that, please."
