On the beach, gorgeous weather, surrounded by family and friends--and lots of good food! This is my RL. This time last year was so frought with anxiety, guilt and constant thoughts of him. I remember so vividly spending last Tgiving daydreaming bout him all day and evening asnd missing out on all the love and fun going on around me. Soooooo thankful I pulled my head out of my azz!! Oh yeah, a little hurt is still in my heart, but today I am soaking up the sun and real love happening all around me.

My heartfelt love to my EAS family.

What a Beautiful day. I love to "visit" the snow but I gotta live where it's warm. (Didn't Jimmy Buffett sing that?) Peace and happiness all. So grateful for so many things....

MC, my A was fairly new and very intense this time last year. We were long distance so I was constantly anxious--thinking about him, when we could see each other asgain, when we could speak again,etc. Add to that the anxiety of just plain ole doing something I knew was wrong. I tell you I lost weight and had an "upset tummy" all the time. I wasted last Tgiving by daydreaming about him instead of enjoying the company of people I only get to see once a year. How selfish on my part and what a misdirected and waste of effort. It was terrif to be fully engaged with everyone this year. Give yourself a little bit more time and you will really start to understand what I am saying. I will be celebrating with you when you get to that point, sweetie.And I promise you will get to that point!!
