Locating the Most Halcyon Places on Earth.

What would it be like to live in Mayberry North Carolina around the 1960's? Would people really have been as tranquil as portrayed in the hit TV show Andy Griffith Show? Probably not, but what we do know is that people were far more tolerant of others then we are today and parents taught their children the difference between right and wrong, they even taught them manners and respect.

As a society in general, we didn't find the need to lock our neighbors out of our homes when we were gone or to put up fences to keep the neighbors or their kids at bay. Those neighbors didn't feel the need to arm themselves or protest to freely carry loaded firearms into public places; the same places we would be taking our young children to shop or play.

Halcyon Days

"Halcyon days" refers to a period of time associated with peacefulness, calmness, or idyllic happiness. Perhaps things would have been better had we followed our parents advise. Just think of the differences in life today verses the life in the 60's. Our people in general were still kind and considerate, loving and faithful, we were tolerant and understanding of individual differences. Laws were meant for all not just for the other guys.

Christmas Cheer All Through The Year!

Is it the thought that Santa is watching us or could their actually be a higher presence that has us on our best behavior around the weeks leading up to Christmas? Does it seem as though our focus comes off of self and shifts more to those we love and admire? Are you in a better mood during this time of year? Then why not carry this cheer through the new year and into the remaining months of the year?

Tired of all the bad news lately? Money, taxes, bills got you down? Getting our focus off of the material side of life and refocusing on family and friends will indeed bring you more happiness all through your life. This is the essence behind Halcyon Times, a new type of web site dedicated to peace, happiness and friendships.

Family Times

Spending time together as a family promotes strong family ties that last an eternity. Many of the things that we hold as important to us we carry forward from our youths. So much of what we as adults hold dear is a direct relationship to our upbringing and reflects back, for the better or the worst, on our family life as a child. How will the future generations view you as seen through the actions of your children?

Serendipity

Serendipity: The effect by which one accidentally stumbles upon something fortunate, especially while looking for something entirely unrelated.
