I love this, Candace--and it reminds me of my sweet next door neighbor (age 9), who said something that I think about all the time. One time when her family and I were hanging out at a local park, she was sitting in her inner tube at the river when a gush of water flipped her over; she popped up quickly and said, "that wasn't was I hoping for!"
I've turned that phrase over so many times because it's such a positive way to view the unexpected....like your daughter's phrase. Love their innocent little minds!
Love this! I've noticed my tendency to skim lately, all the essays about so many ways to start a new year, until this one. it's like a breath of fresh air. The way you compose these delightful words with your watercolor, I find so very refreshing. Thank you!
What a sweet little story! Oh, I can just imagine a toddler saying this phrase as well. This is a good place. Thank you for the inspiration. I, too, am finding my "good place".
This IS a good place. Moreover, it’s the one we have. Why not let go of anything that prevents us from enjoying it, except maybe putting my porta potty on a busy sidewalk. One can enjoy only a certain number of good places in a lifetime, so one must pick and choose.

Love this! May 2025 be filled with good places for all of humanity :)
Candace, she’s getting to know about herself and the world around her. Little kids are fun.
That is adorable, she’s already a wise little lady. Keep nurturing this and she will always find a “good place” anywhere.
I love this certainty of this catchphrase, "This is a good place." I want more of that too!

Candace! I love this so much. Of course your daughter would have that same whimsical poeticism that you do. <3
I love she has so much certainty as a toddler. Long may it continue, and may we all find a good place in 2025!
Out of the mouths of children!
Great little story. Love it.
You communicate so much certainty in your daughter's voice. That certainty is what resonates with me.
"This is a good place." My new saying for 2025. Thanks to your sweet girl.
