Ha, there is porn everything now. I used to be offended, now I hashtag the hell out of stuff with #porn, especially food… #pizzaporn, #donutporn, #burgerporn, etc… welcome back to blogging! xo
Yeah, we celebrated BE’s birthday there in October. The weather was crap, but we had an amazing time anyway. Fun city, great food & architecture! I’ll let you know if I return. I’m back to North Carolina for a couple weeks, then NYC later in May. Be well! ❤
I get it Falling Ash. I definitely had it before dday, but never thought about it. Now I think about it often and I am back to a place of peace. Different from before, but still much calmer with less anxiety now than any other time since discovery. ❤️
Ha! You were getting my One Lovely Blog nomination too, along with Blue Eyes. You have both been incredibly helpful to Handsome and to me and we appreciate you both sharing your writing! I always look forward to your posts. https://wp.me/p9DqJv-3R
Thank you so much SofaSA for the kind gesture. That is very sweet of you. I don’t really participate in blogging awards anymore, but I do appreciate the nomination. I had received a few in the past and answered questions, and nominated people, but it became a bit overwhelming. I thought I had deleted all the posts, but it seems I still have one up from 2015: https://trynottocryonmyrainbow.com/2015/06/11/liebster-award/ I did enjoy reading more about you and I do truly appreciate the recognition. xo
I vote for exercise. Excercise has saved me! I seldom miss a day at my gym, and when I do, I don’t like it. When I walk through the gym doors, I think, “Ahhh, my happy place.
I love the quote. I’m not there yet, but I’m a believer. I do have those occasional “glimpses” someone referred to.
I am in a much better place, but I do wish exercise was always my happy place. Here, where I am, exercising is easy and convenient and I don’t have a lot of distractions from it… at home it seems I can find many many excuses. I need to change my mindset because I do feel a whole lot better after six weeks of serious daily exercise. xo
Ha, ha, ha… my son would say marijuana. I have never taken drugs, so I guess, for me, especially where I am currently at, it must be exercise??? Hang in there, CR. Things will come together for you and you will look back at this time as just a blip on the journey. ❤
Or Xanax’s friend Valium. lol I take them only for a severe panic attack to get out of a tailspin, b/c I don’t want to become habituated. But it works.
I tried to take a low dose Ativan to help me with my anxiety in airports and on airplanes (stalker driven, I had never been afraid of flying before dday), but it actually me made me dizzy and gave me insomnia! I hate being out of control of my faculties.
try not to cry on my rainbow 
I love the quote, but it makes me chuckle that this lovely summary of how peace can feel comes from… word PORN. Surely not named by an SA spouse, ha!

I aspire to getting this feeling back. I have felt it before, but OH took it away from me with his behaviour. Maybe one day.
