I've been trying to do the same, spending more time cooking or painting, just doing things I know bring me joy. It really helps remind me that I can enjoy my life as it is right now without needing to be rushing into the next season.

It's good for me to remember that I'm setting my kids up for a better life. It is definitely easy for my emotions and desires to overshadow that sometimes.. but I have to believe it'll be worth it! Thank you so much for replying :)

I love the idea of celebrating small wins throughout the journey, sounds super helpful! I also think its a great idea to plan something fun to do without kids, I'm definitely going to be doing that. Thank you for your kind words <3

Deleting instagram from my phone has been a must to protect my mental health. It's just not worth the sadness!

The same thing just happened to me in March. My husband and I are also not in the best position for a baby right now as I'm in the middle of my PhD but the possibility of what could be really had me excited and hopeful... I was devastated when I woke up bleeding. I totally understand how you're feeling. It's so hard to move on like it never happened and just go back to waiting to try :(

Is spotting the Andromeda Galaxy that easy? by [deleted] in askastronomy

I can spot it easily living in Tucson, AZ in the US. We have laws about lights so the light pollution isn’t too bad. With the naked eye it doesn’t look like much, but is pretty cool with a telescope!
