This time of year, when I was a child, I recall being swept into another world looking at all the colors and lights that appear this time of year. I just wanted to shrink myself and crawl into a world where I was surrounded by their magic.
I am sure there are compelling psychological reasons why this felt so good.
As an adult I try to find things that fascinate and take my breath away. These are the experiences that then become ‘special places’ I can mentally go when I need to brighten my day.
What fascinates you? What magic places have you found that can mentally provide a haven of bliss for pain-filled days? I invite your thoughts.
