Reflecting on happy memories

[Aruni]

Getting in touch with nature is something that makes fellow Google Moderator @TsekoV and I happy, so we wanted to share our stories and images for inspiration.

@TsekoV : “One of my favorite things to do is plan a getaway somewhere in the mountains, far from the big city and the crowds. In these secluded places, I feel joyful that I’ve left my comfort zone and dared to discover the world around me. I think about how grateful I am to be there, take the time to revisit my dreams, and more. I also remind myself of the importance of things, experiences, and people that make me feel alive and happy.

One place that I vividly remember visiting is the Belogradchik Fortress in Bulgaria. I was astonished at this combination between a natural rock formation and a man-made fortress. I went there with two friends, and we had a great time. I felt like I could stay for hours at the top of the rock and marvel at the view that opened up.

The happiness I experienced that day still lingers within me, and makes me dream of new adventures.”

@Aruni : “I’m a Thai who has lived abroad for many years and currently lives in Bulgaria. There are many things that I like here. For example, there are four distinct seasons when I can enjoy various activities in nature, such as skiing, mountain climbing, and going to the seaside. Each season is different and unique, and I feel happy when I spend time with my family outdoors. Whenever I have some free time, I go exploring the mountains. The moment I get there, I feel a sense of freedom and happiness deep within my heart.

One of my favorite experiences is visiting Rila Mountain and hiking to the top of Musala Peak. At 2925 meters, this is the highest peak not only in Bulgaria but also in the whole Balkan Peninsula.

We started our journey early in the morning as it takes quite some time to reach the top. First, we had to take the 8.30 am cable car from Borovets. It took 25 minutes to reach Yastrebetz Hut from where the hiking trails began. We needed about four hours and a half to reach the peak, but it was worth it. I still remember the mesmerizing view of mountain ranges, lakes, and little forests below us.”

Hi @Aruni

I am always wondered by your wonderful vision. Coming out from comfort Zone means you are looking for a higher degree of comfort that’s the spiritual delight.

@Aruni What makes me happy? So simple. I’m happy when I’m surrounded by kind and positive people that are so “welcome” to me. Another things that woul make me happy is when eating good food with my beloved people in a comfortable place, and also when discovering new place and culinary while traveling

It’s great that you and @TsekoV find a common interest. Do you guys often go to the nature places that are far from the city together?

Awesome view on the peak!

Thank you connector Aruni for the introduction.

Hello @Aruni thanks for sharing your experiences. Nothing compares to being close to nature and going to a wild to hike to the very top of a mountain is an experience that is completely rewarding. Just as you said, it is place where mind is at peace , devoid of conflicting thoughts. It is place to reflect on the past and dream of a great future.

[TsekoV]

These are so good reasons to be happy, @Velvel . : )

The places we visited are in different periods throughout the year and I went there with my friends, as for @Aruni I believe she spent her time in the mountains with her family.

Hi @Aruni

The Belogradchik Fort and the rock formation are captivating and enigmatic.

Is it too far from the place you live? Can you drive straight till the entrance gate or even inside the fencing wall?

I too like visiting forts because they are less traveled places and provide plenty of solitude which makes me feel happy.

Hi @TusharSuradkar

Thank you for your interest in the place. it is about 2 hours drive from the capital and there is a parking place just next to the entrance of this park.

With such a change in the way that I can get a little more about how the world works and how much joy I love getting out of the house and participating and not feeling so alone. I’ve been trying to reinvent myself, given my chronic illnesses and give back to the community. It has taken me to self-esteem and given me a newfound purpose
