30 Days
The topic of “place” is a big one - we all have places, perhaps many, where we felt our best or created memories that stayed with us. We may recall a favorite childhood vacation or somewhere in our hometown/city/state we absolutely love or a place unlike anywhere else we’ve ever been.
Some of us found a sense of magic on the other side of the world. Others didn’t need to travel far: our favorite place may be connected to our own home: a cozy bedroom, front porch or backyard.
As we consider the idea of “place” - here are some questions for today:
Where do you love going?
Where did you feel peace or joy?
What’s the most magical place you’ve ever been?
Or simply, name a place you are grateful exists.
Before moving on today, have a look at the Gratitude Buddies World Map below. Read through some of the posts for inspirration. At the top, there are different categories to zero in on specific topics.
Perhaps as an act of goodwill for those to follow, you’ll feel inspired to share a pin about a place that you love. Specific landmarks, parks stores, cafes etc, can be particularly helpful!
Someday, if we’re in the neighborhood, we might drop by!
