Gratitude

I want to say thank you to my friends and family for supporting me, I wouldn't have made it this long without you.  Thank you from the deepest part of my heart!  Thank you God for walking with me and carrying  me when it was really tough.  Thank you for the following things:

• my family and friends
• 3 months smoke free encouragement
• getting my children on the bus for me
• my house
• my van
• being happy, healthy and safe
• our jobs
• time spent with loved ones (for the time I had and still have)

I thank you for all of this and not necessarily in this order.   Today it has come to my attention that gratitude is a powerful thing.  In order to be successful in anything, you must be grateful for what you have before you can get anything else.  I already feel like a blessed woman.  I have a family I love, and enjoy being with; what more could I need?  I want other things of course!  But in the end it is the love of family and God that will see me through.  Friends help too, oh I love you!

Whoa I made it!

Over this past weekend my honey and I had a lot of time to talk.  I found out that I quit smoking 12 weeks or 3 months ago today!  How awesome is that?  I've heard that this is a mile stone.  The next one is at 6 months, then a year.  I'm on my way to success, no stopping me now peps!  I feel good, I'm jacked, and hoping my anger issues will fade.  I see my doc on the 7th to see if we can do something about this shoulder issue, and maybe some happy pills to take care of some of my anger issues.  Still kinda roller coaster around here, I'm up then down...down...up briefly and back down, down.  Lol I'll chose to laugh now and I'll pay for it later.  Sad but true.  I signed my family up for the Kyuki Do leadership program, now we can go to more classes a week, purely selfish reasons of course.  All in all the no smoking pros still out weigh the cons.  My family says they still love me and want me to keep going, so I guess its "Full Steam Ahead!"
