On Hawaii, near the volcano on the big island, in the rain forest - at a B&B. A week earlier I had left my job with a severance package, so I was on vacation with NO STRESS to go back to.
The B&B had no TV, Phones, or even radio. So, the first afternoon we were there, I was looking through the books, and found Alice in Wonderland. My wife and I lounged around on the king sized bed with the window open and read. There is something about rain the jungle as it falls through the leaves. It was probably the most peaceful day I have had as an adult.
That evening, it kept raining and we hit the hot tub that was pretty much just a big tub with hot water in it out under one of the giant trees that sheltered us a bit from the rain.
It was the best way to start a 3 week vacation in Hawaii and melt away 9 years of job stress... Whenever I need to have a 'serenity now' moment, I think back to that day
