Nice thread!

My outlets that keep me sane and healthy (in no particular order):

1.) cycling long distances (meditative and soothing; keeps me balanced and helps me work off stress)
2.) remembering to laugh
3.) talking stuff out rather than burying my feelings
4.) taking solace in my family--husband, cat, brother and sister in law--and friends
5.) learning that the way I was treated as a child and the way my mother continues to treat me is wrong and to not accept that treatment
6.) to continue to forge my own life for myself
7.) starting on a career change in the fall!
8.) finding support on this forum and through therapy
9.) finding new and exciting ways to eat gluten free
10.) enjoying our new city--getting out, walking around
11.) music, reading, movies, sleeping in, going to bed early, knitting
12.) getting out in nature
13.) occasional "girly" things like a pedicure or getting my hair done
14.) spending time with the wonderful kitties and dogs at the nonprofit
15.) knowing that this is my one and only life, and I gotta make the best of it!
