Snowflake Challenge Day 1

Day 1: In your own space, talk about your Happy Place—the things that give you joy, calms you or keeps you sane. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.


Nature is a big one. A long walk in the park, mmm, just thinking about that makes me feel happier.

Cats, of course. My roommie has five. She keeps them in her room most of the time because she's trying to toilet train them but they were out for Christmas because she's rented out the kids room so when any are here with their significant others, they get the double bed. So, yay, kitties were out for a week and a halfish although they're back in the room now. Someday I will make enough for my own place - although it's great living here - and can have my own kitty again.

Books, love books. I'm currently reading Bujold's Memory (Vorkosigan saga) and it's so awesome. I mean, I knew that because this is a reread but still, it's awesome.

Holiday specific but Christmas lights and receiving Christmas cards.

Visiting with my friends.

Ooops, and I almost forgot: writing. Writing makes me very, very happy. *grin*

Nature is a wonderful restorative! I walk my dogs by a lake every day, and it's wonderful!

Ahh I love cats so much??? They're so sweet and soft and loveable. I've been so, so tempted to get one over the years, but I don't think I'm really in the right place to. (Basically, I really want to teach English in another country... which would involve moving to another country... plus I already have a dog, and currently I'm staying with my aunt who is very allergic to cats). Hopefully one day I'll be on my own in the right place and the right time to give a kitty a loving home <3

Also Christmas lights bring me such joy~ They're so, so pretty!!! I especially love the warm white ones. It just creates such a nice atmosphere~

Totally with you on nature, cats and books!

Oooh, walking dogs! That's also an excellent one. I'm, generally, more of a cat person but my last roommie had a dog but was unable to walk Emma. She generally took Emma to parks instead, but that did allow me to walk Emma twice a day. It was so much fun!

I've always enjoyed blue lights, but these past two years my faves have been white and red together.

Is that a Spike hand petting that cat in your icon?
