Where is your place?
Where is the place where you feel like you don’t have to do
anything – where time seems to stand still, where calories don’t count and
napping midday is accepted and even encouraged.
Where is the place where you play cards for hours and it
doesn’t matter who wins (although competitive streaks will appear), where
everything is funny and inside jokes are formed and held.
Where is the place where it’s always sunny and even if it
rains, it feels bright, where feet are dirty, manicures are chipped and you
don’t mind the bug bites that dot your ankles.
Where is the place where you’re outside and you’ll do it
all, try it all – where it feels good to be exhausted from doing everything yet
nothing.
I think my place has changed over the years. Most recently
it’s at a small house my parents bought and are fixing up on Whidbey Island.
It's just about an hour north from Seattle – the trip includes a ferry ride – but feels worlds away.
Duluth, MN for SURE. It's the one place Iz and I can go where we can just relax and nothing matter.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a lovely, lovely place. I think the beach could be one of those places. My local beach doesn't have great cell service, so going to the beach is kind of like unplugging in a way. I don't have to be anywhere or do anything. I can just relax.
ReplyDeleteGreat post!
