Snowflake Challenge - Day 1

Day 1

In your own space, talk about your Happy Place—the things that give you joy, calms you or keeps you sane. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.


My happy place is my house, where I live with my hubby of 38 years. It's where our daughter lived with us and it contains all my stuff. My favorite rooms are my study and my living room (or den). The study is where I have PC... yes, still use a desktop because I prefer typing on it. That PC is my window to the world. It's where I travel and have conversations with my friends, interact with fandom and where I write. The study is also full of books - everywhere. The den is where we watch tv together and eat our dinner every night. We stopped eating at the table when Sara died so we eat and watch Jeopardy every evening!

That PC is my window to the world

That is such a lovely way to put it. Also the books everywhere, I can sadly relate all too much!

Sounds lovely! I wish I had somewhere like that - maybe one day! :)

I love the way you state that the house contains all your stuff - that made me smile! It's why I love my flat too

That’s so sweet. I love your description of your pc at the window to the world, because that’s how mine was to me. I can relate with books everywhere, I have so many!

Alexcat. I am sorry for the loss of your daughter. But I'm glad you shared your happy place with us.

I hear you on the desktop preference. Sure it's nice to be able to take a laptop with you wherever you go, but after I wore out three of them in what I felt was an unreasonably short time, I came to realise that I simply can't afford the sort of laptop that match my usage! This desktop that Husband built for me out-performs every single one of those three laptops and the bits inside it came up to around the same price. And I get a nicer keyboard and bigger monitor and it's WAY better for playing a game. I'm totally not going back. :)
