What's Your Happy Place?

One of those days today.

'Thank God It was a Friday', is a massive understatement. Deadlines of 'yesterday', ping-pongs between sales managers and publishing managers, hopeless attempts of conversation and cooperation with equally hopeless individuals that should be working elsewhere. Sometimes i really don't know what keeps me going.

That's a lie of course- i know that i love what i do and i need nothing more. But apart from that spark that sets the engine running, you've got to have fuel.

At random times, during minute moments of extreme happiness and tranquility, the brain records those very images and feelings that surround you, that give you inner peace. These snippets are stored forever. Those moments are your fuel when you need it. Subconsciously, my mind kept running back to this year's summer images and the breath-taking beaches i visited... while editing articles, assigning reviews, moderating sites, scheduling editor deadlines for the next few weeks, analyzing charts and doing a few more things at the same time, my mind was calmly travelling to that perfect beach.

And all's well!



Agios Nikolaos beach, at Alonissos, Greece. That beach is pure magic. Needless to say, the colors and resolution fail to do her justice...
