My husband and I took a meandering drive from one place to another yesterday. We drove down paths that related to good times past, and I found myself thinking about what created good times past as well as the good times I hope to engage in going forward.
Adventure
Most of the good times in my life included a sense of adventure--there was a quest involved.
Nature
Good times also included lots of beautiful nature.
Community
There was a loving, caring community too.
Simplicity
These good times didn't include a lot of complexity, but instead were simple, positive times.
Fun, Laughter, Joy
There was a lot of happiness in these good times.
Place had a lot to do with the good times. Having a good place as a home base mattered. As I think of the post-pandemic days ahead, I'm thinking about how to build my space in ways that create those good times going forward. Onward.
