What places evoke the sweetest memories for you?
It could be something as simple as your backyard, or even a huge city, like Houston or Los Angeles.
There is always a place that, when you hear someone mention it, makes you smile and feel warm inside. Where is it? And why?
My own: Seattle. (and thanks, freaky gurl, for the Seattle thread last night! It made me think of Seattle and smile!) For me, Seattle was a place where I finally let go of the last vestiges of one love and stepped gently into the next. It was a bittersweet moment, but one that I wouldn't trade for anything.
Another: my grandparents' back field, walking next to the old creek, and finding that walnut tree that was blown down in a storm when I was ten years old. My grandfather and I used to sit on that old tree and talk. He taught me so much. That one little place might be insignificant to most, but to me, it is part of the woman I have become.
Where are the places that make you smile?
