Where is your happy place?

Oct282007-VID00061-4.jpg picture by janaelbe

 Where do you go to find happiness?  Where you feel close to God and all that is important to you.  Is it church, being close to your family and friends, or simply just finding a quiet place and having time to yourself?  Time to think, to feel, and to pray.

Those who know me already know my answer to this question, but for those who don’t I would like to share my place with you.  I head to the forest to enjoy some quality time with God and my family. Together we appreciate all the beauty He has given us. 

The chapel is old and unique, the stained glass windows glow with charm, and you feel blessed to be a part of it all.  I love having mass in the church, but I also enjoy the grado outside where we have church under a rock overhang. It’s like being in a cave!  Seeing the moon and stars above, the lake right in front of you, and singing songs you can hear an echo to.  Amazing! 

Hiking through the forest is a challenge, but what you see and feel along the way is worth every step.  I was there this past weekend and the gifts God put on my path were a true blessing.  We saw deer, the legendary albino catfish, star gazing by the waterfall, a beautiful rainbow, and peace!

Come on in and enjoy some of my favorite photos of “my happy place!”  I would love to hear where your happy place is, and how it makes you feel.

 Peace, Jana<3
