When the world gets too much to bear, it’s time to retreat to your ‘happy place’
YES, I know exactly how you feel. It seems like the world has gone to hell in a hand basket. And you don’t know how you’re going to get through the next month, the next year, let alone the rest of your life.
You’ve spent days trying to live off the loose change you’ve scrounged from around the house. Or you spent endless hours queuing at the bank or at an ATM to get access to your own money. Donald Trump (Donald Trump!) is the new President of the United States. Leonard Cohen died. The list of misfortunes and tragedies seems endless.
So how do we survive in this world, which has begun to seem like such a nasty, brutish place?
Well, I don’t know about you, but I try and do so by going to my ‘happy place’. Which is often not a place at all but a state of mind I achieve by doing what pleases me best.
Here are just some of the things I have been doing over the last week or so to achieve ‘happy place’ status.
