Costa Rica helped us identify happiness in a way that we usually take for granted. That is our greatest take away and the biggest gift from our recent visit.

I share more on that in Happiness, Tico Style: Adventures in Costa Rica.

Below are some of the images that we captured along the way.

    Great shots! I am always amazed by the amount of wildlife you can see when you travel. I'm so used to seeing it all in a zoo. Travel really is where we find our happiness as well. Something about exploring and learning together. Plus all of that undivided attention we can give the kids with out the normal household distractions and chores. Thanks for sharing your trip with us!

    @ walkingon travels:

    Thank you! I think that is what I love the most. Just the ability to be there and present all the time : ) It's truly worth all of it just for that!

A whole #travelTuesday went by before I shared a p A whole #travelTuesday went by before I shared a photo, and in the end, it is a photo of a place I call home. Here’s a scene from a fall day at @theflxcottage in @flxwinecountry. During a time when there was so much to grieve and nowhere to really go, we found, and find, happiness and peace here. It truly is magical this way. Of all the promises travel offers, what is true is that whatever bliss, peace, and joy you may be looking for will start from within, and until then, travel serves only as temporary escapism, never truly grounded reality. Travel is privileged joy. But when your home is joy too, then you know you’ve really found a gift that will carry you no matter where you go. Or don’t. Because where you are is enough. And that is everything. . . . #myflx #fingerlakes #flxcottage #yatescounty #keukalake #keukalakewinetrail #vineyardhouse #farmhouse #countrylife
Sometimes you just need to take a long, long walk. Sometimes you just need to take a long, long walk.
Some times, more than others, you need to hold on Some times, more than others, you need to hold on to moments of joy tighter than ever. For me, this week, it has been found during long drives through country roads and wintery scenes in wine country. Or with a good movie or TV show (Sylvie’s Love was my latest, along with Netflix’s special “Pretend It’s A City” with Fran Lebowitz). Or with loving conversations with dear friends. The point is, as a society, there is much to do, but our heart and mind and soul are sacred. Care for them. Love them. Feed them joy, however and wherever you may find it. We may live to fight another day...but we don’t have to live to fight every day.♥️
