: What is the origin of the phrase "I'm in my happy place"?

Dates back to at least 2003. From my files:

Rediscover their happy place -- "’There's a whole range of emotions people go through when they lose data,’ said John Christopher, a DriveSavers engineer. ‘From anger to grief.’ When the company receives a call from someone who's clearly lost it -- which can happen several times an hour -- Chessin comes on the line to help the caller rediscover their happy place. Then the engineer returns to discuss the technical problem in detail..."
