Picture it\u2026.take a few deep breaths and imagine yourself being there right now. How does it feel?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last weekend I found a\nnew happy place and it was breathtaking. \nThe weather was perfect with a slight breeze, sun warming up my skin,\nalong with great friends canoeing in crystal clear calm water. Yes, it took us\nover four long hours to canoe and portage to reach our destination, but once we\nfound our campsite in Algonquin Park it was worth the heat and pain we all felt\nin our arms from carrying our canoe and provisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I haven\u2019t gone camping\nsince middle school and don\u2019t get me wrong  – I love being in nature and making creative\nmeals over a campfire but I\u2019m more of a cottage fan, with a comfy bed and a\nproper bathroom! This was a new portaging experience and I was a little\nskeptical (perhaps nervous) and not the most \u201cexcited\u201d.  Like I said, once we found our destination I\nwas able to relax my shoulders and I began to really appreciate the total\nexperience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We made the site our\nhome for the weekend, prepared delicious meals together, the weather was\nperfect and the view was breathless. \nEveryone turned their phones off and we didn\u2019t talk about work and the\nreally stressful things everyone is going through these days.  It was so peaceful to escape for a few days\noff the radar;  to connect with each other,\nand nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These pandemic times\nare tough and I am so grateful that this weekend allowed me to take a step back\nto just appreciate the sun, nature and people I have been missing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where is your happy place?  Here\u2019s mine:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
