Do you do Breakfast at Tiffany's?

Well, when I get it the only thing that does any good is to jump in a cab and go to Tiffany's. Calms me down right away. The quietness and the proud look of it; nothing very bad could happen to you there. If I could find a real-life place that'd make me feel like Tiffany's, then - then I'd buy some furniture and give the cat a name!

I just finished watching one of my all time favorites, Breakfast At Tiffanys. While watching this I started to think about my own personal breakfast at Tiffany's. For those of you have never seen this movie, (it's now streaming on netflix if you have that), Audrey Hepburn plays Holly Golightly and she loves Tiffany's the famous jewlery store with the cute little blue turquoise boxes. She can't afford to buy anything out of there but just walking around the store or even looking through the window while eating a crossiant and coffee, soothes her. There is a lot of other stuff going on in this movie as well. If you like good ole classic movies then you should definitely check this one out.

Now, back to my original thought..

What is that I do to decompress, what makes me happy on those days when it's hard to find things to smile about. I use to use food as a coping tool, but as I have gotten older and the weight gets harder and harder to lose, I have found healthier ways to deal with those stressful times. I go for a run , walk the dog, call a friend and vent, but most importantly I pray. I pray and ask God to give me the strength to make it through what ever is going on, and to help to deal with it in a non self-destructive manner, i.e eating or shopping.
How do you handle stress?
