Sunning on the white sandy beaches of Maui, sampling the exotic cuisine of Thailand, searching for wildlife in the Brazilian Rain forest, or even sitting in line at the DMV to name a few.
These "Other places" are especially tantalizing during Joyschool session that are not so joyful, or when potty training (my favorite subject) is more like POW training camp.
Sibling rivalry, Sharpie Graffiti, dents in Sheetrock, broken heirlooms, red juice / creme carpet, ripped books, scissors on the loose, pruning expensive artificial trees, realization that my anger is very angry & my patience very impatient, the list goes on....and on...and on..........
"No place I'd rather be" must refer to the rare, unexpected moments of sincere adulation given straight from the heart of my little darlings. The kind that defy description. A momentary burst of pure joy where time stands still.
In that moment an overwhelming confirmation of purpose occurs and despite the daily difficulty,There is NO place I'd rather be.

Wow, you made me tear up.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, you are so poetic. This really tugged at my heartstrings!
You couldn't have said it better! :)
But can we take our loved ones and wish we were some other place??? Just kidding. That was an awesome post. You never cease to amaze me. Thanks.
I've been thinking for several days about what I could add to your post by way of the comment section and I can't think of anything to add, Kris. You said it beautifully. Thanks for the reminder.
