Where is your happy place?.
I place you go to wind down, chill and suck in the reality of life. Could be a vacation place you go once a year or a daily location.
Or your happy place is what you make of it and do not have to go anyplace to find that smile. All in the mind they say.
But that location makes you smile.

I don't really have a happy place (other than home I guess)--it's more the person or people I'm with that makes me happy.
Agreed but there must be a secluded place you can hide from the daily responsibilities.
I like to sit by my balcony and just stare at the sky, works after 10 minutes.
At home I like going out onto my deck in the morning and enjoying a cup of coffee while listening to the rest of the world awaken.
I know it's stereotypical for a male, but in my car. I'm not a "car" guy, I don't detail it or have a hot rod or consider my vehicle "my baby". It's just a comfortable place for me.
I have a long commute, ~1 hour each way, it's 60 miles just about exactly from my door to work and traffic is light so it's all drive time.
My car is like my own little terrarium. Listening to podcasts, audio books or music, it's a wonderful way to rev up getting ready for work and a relaxing way to wind down at the end of the day.

Won't be in Norway.
While lacking the life-threatening qualities associated with the SyFy Channel's "Sharknado" franchise, this past weekend's "earthworm storm" over parts of Norway couldn't have been a pleasant experience.
A biologist skiing in the mountains outside the coastal city of Bergen was the first to notice the odd phenomenon after discovering thousands of earthworms on top of snow more than three feet thick.
"When I found them on the snow they seemed to be dead, but when I put them in my hand, I found that they were alive," Karstein Erstad told The Local.
Erstad's discovery corroborated a string of reports across southern Norway of localized "worm rainfall." The current theory is that a warm, high-velocity pocket of air swept up the worms as they were emerging from winter hibernation and carried them up into the mountains.
According to the Library of Congress, updrafts in thunderstorms can reach speeds of more than 60 miles per hour — comparable to the winds of moderate-intensity waterspouts. That's enough force to pick up earthworms, not to mention frogs, snakes, spiders, and all sorts of lightweight species.
"It is certainly within the realm of possibility that fish and frogs could rain from the sky,” Greg Carbin, a severe weather expert with the National Weather Service, told Modern Farmer. "Especially when you look at the power of some thunderstorms and tornados, there’s a tremendous vertical component to the wind that can suck things up and deposit them far from where they were picked up."
This is all to say that if you plan on traveling to Norway any time soon, make sure you pack a strong umbrella.
