I had an awesome Project Me post already scheduled for today, but at the last minute, I couldn’t publish it. Let’s just say it was ridiculously optimistic and at the moment, I’m not feeling very happy-go-lucky. Even though I choose not to vent and try to keep the tone fairly positive on this blog, I’m human and I have my bad days too. This week I had one of those icky days. Such that I decided to give myself a day off to find my “happy place”. Sometimes that’s all you need: time to sort things out and your favorite Southern red velvet cupcakes for comfort. My problem remains unresolved, but I feel more at ease today and ready to tackle what lies ahead. So tell me…
What’s your “Happy Place”?

chocolate solves everything! Feel better soon :)

Oh, I hope whatever it is gets sorted out soon. {{hugs}}
My “happy place” would be kettle-cooked jalapeno & cheese potato chips and some honey green tea (bubble tea), with music playing in the background (depending on my mood). =)

Mmmm… red velvet! I would totally drown my woes in one {five} of those cupcakes with you … if only we lived closer. Sigh.
My happy place is definitely home–surrounded by the things I love most. If I’m really having a spell, I may even bawl myself into oblivion in a tub full of bubbles.
So here’s to you, my friend, and brighter days!
Ooo I have a few happy places. I have to say, the best one is at the end of a long day, when my boyfriend and I just lay down on the sofa and it feels safe and comfortable. But riding my bike is also a big one for me :-)

Not that every day I don’t miss seeing you “every day” but its days like this that I really miss being there for you in the flesh. I’m just a phonecall away and I love you………
Extra special hugs coming your way!

These days my happy place is taking a nap! Or just closing the bedroom door and reading a book in bed … or in the car by myself … my little guy is my shadow now, I don’t get to go to the bathroom by myself anymore, and getting dressed to go out for the day is hard when he’s got his arms wrapped around my leg begging to be picked up. He gets very clingy when I have to do the simpliest things for myself. So, a few minutes of silence is makes me golden again :)
Hope your spirits are lifted and looks are looking bright again!
xxoo
I hope you feel better!
My “happy place” is either alone in bed with a fluffy comforter and a good book or magazine or cooking in my kitchen with a good glass of wine. Basically, if I’m home doing what I love with no distractions, it calms me down.

Sending you hugs Maddy!! I know how you feel – we all get in those places and you’re so right – you just have to find your happy place. You’re singing to the choir here – my happy place definitely includes some sort of dessert!!
Awww…I hope things get better in the blink of an eye for you, Maddy – I can’t stand to see you feeling low! :(
On the brightside…cupcakes! :)

Well you can vent all night on friday when we meet up. I honestly like a good hour alone to read my magazine. It really calms me and helps me destress. Dont know why but its really relaxing
likeitsgolden recently posted..This may be a bit much for a post about clothing but please indulge me anyway
A bear hug from me too, I hope your worry vanishes away, I know I have my days too. My happy place is burying myself in a blanket with comfort food of something sweet and savory and watch a movie or two along with catching up on sports or have a chat with my sisters.
My Happy Place is either making cupcakes, eating cupcakes, or being in a shop that sells cupcakes.
Prayer you get some resolve soon!!! Love you.

My happy place is watching the Real Housewives of ANY city with my pillows propped around me.
I know that everything will be ok : )
I belive.
You believe too, ok?
Hugs. Hugs. Hugs.

I’m with you on the feeling down. I’m just having a bad day. Try to stay positive. Whatever it is…it will work itself out :-)

These cupcakes truly look like a happy place. Maddy, whatever bugs you, I hope you can resolve it soon. When I’ve got my bad days I’m finding it hard to imagine that things can get better… but they usually do. (and in the end my happy place is in the arms of my man or having a chat with Sarah. It makes me realise what’s important in life.) xoxo

ohhh on those days nothing makes me happier than staying home with Blue…in my pjs..sewing…drinking coffee…cruising my blogroll {it’s the happiest place in my blog world} ..eating grilled cheese sandwiches {yep, that was plural…cheese is my red velvet cupcake}. I usually have to plan my happy place for the weekends. I also love to go on a quick hike. Just breathing in and walking it out and getting fresh air. I hope you feel better! ♥ :)
ooo. hope that all is well. i was really feeling this last week.

My happy place is definitely me…a cup of tea, my dogs (for my happy place I prefer only 1 human…me) and a magazine or movie. It’s nice to have that time to get yourself together. Hope your day is going better today:)

it’s the creme in the middle of a Cadbury Egg…right there is my happy place. At least right now…:-)
Hope you get to feeling better. I am a lot like you. I have bad days and tend to shut down rather than scour them on my blog. Which is why my blog has been so bare lately…..I am having health issues and frankly? I’m just too young for that and it is sooo totally depressing.
