All the time! But even happier at Kraoke, or traveling in my RV with the furry ones.
@Stacey48 I wish.....
When I'm on the beach with my grandsons in ocean shores Washington
When I lived in Phoenix, actually. Now I'm SIN (Stuck In Nebraska).
@Stacey48 Yeah, I now live in a village of about 600 people. After 10 PM everything is closed. The bar might be open... When I lived there I had dozens of friends that would come over reguarly. Now, just 2-3 that come over occasionally that I went to HS with.
I'm a little too rational for some peoples liking but happiness/content is based on the state of flow. I can get there in many ways: driving for hours, hiking, hobby, cooing, etc...

Dolly Sods just after the last snow of the season, and before the fair weather people show up. A campfire in front of me and the forest all around me.
@ProudMerry
Go!!! Both are beautiful places!
@ProudMerry
You might also check out Cathedral state park if you decide to go.
When I am rock climbing with friends, post climbing at hot springs with drinks as well.
@Stacey48 it's a passion. I love the feeling of accomplishing a hard climb, the comradery and it keeps you in shape. Plus, you're never in a place that would be considered "ugly" when youre climbing.
As soon as the airplane takes off, and I leave Puerto Rico.
In King of Prussia, PA, or in Clermont, FL.
Laughing hysterically with my daughter or a dear friend/loved one. I feel so alive and connected at those times.
Each morning when I wake up, stand on my deck looking out at the ocean, rain or shine, appreciating how fortunate I am. Reminds me of the truth which has guided my life since my early days: “Life is always beautiful if you know where to look.”
Happiness is playing computer crib, and when you win, applause, but when you lose, a chorus of voices empathetically says “awwwwwww.” “The genius is in the details.” - Einstein”
MY BLISS STATION: Living in an environment which can nurture my eclectic moods. Rock in the morning to get me going, whatever mix of everything during the day, classical and mellow in the evening, and meditative as I fall asleep. My environment has nurtured me for about 40 years, and except for a few speed bumps and sink holes along the way. But when I regained my balance, my bliss stations helped me save my emotional lives when they needed it most. We all need a sanctuary from time to time.
In general on vacation, traveling somewhere i have never been. I remember a few years ago sitting inside a cafe atop capri sipping a fine white falinghina wine watching the yachts move between capri and naples.....i was amazingly happy.
