| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. |
| 0:10.7 | If you were to take a few moments and think about the best vacation you've ever had, what would it be? |
| 0:17.6 | Particularly in regards to the place you stayed at, where it was just beautiful, tranquil, |
| 0:24.1 | amazing, gorgeous. Perhaps you stayed at a gorgeous resort overlooking a lake. Perhaps you have |
| 0:31.4 | memories of traveling somewhere around the world and got to stay at a castle. We have |
| 0:37.4 | wonderful experiences sometimes in life. |
| 0:40.3 | When we go on vacation. If you've been following me for a while, you'll know that though |

| 1:45.9 | right beneath your feet, and if you wanted to, you could go out on the balcony and just step |
| 1:51.5 | right into the ocean and swim right off the cabin. It was so beautiful, and the water was |
| 1:58.9 | crystal clear. And I'm sure you have your own memories too of |
| 2:03.4 | wonderful vacations that just melt your heart when you think about them and you're hoping |
| 2:08.5 | some day to go back to them, even though it doesn't cause you distress that you're not there |
