Good Morning.

Ok. It's not morning, but I wanted to share some pictures I took on Wednesday. I woke up early and couldn't get back to sleep, so I took my camera to catch the sunrise. It was an amazing morning. The first picture I kinda fudged the colors a bit, but the others are actually the colors the sky was. It was cool.




I love mornings like that. I'm grateful I was awake to see it.
So, when I go to bed tonight it will officially be one week smoke-free. I'm not using any niccotine replacements or any drugs to quit and it's actually easier for me to do it this way. I've tried all the replacemtns before and it hasn't worked. I just decided that I'm done smoking. I know every time I lit up I was killing myself. I could feel it in my whole body. I didn't like the feeling. Now, one week without adding niccotine to my body I do feel a little better, my thought process is not firing on all cylinders yet, but it's getting better. I do have to admit that quitting smoking was a LOT harder than quitting drinking. I don't want to go through this ever again. If anyone out there wants to quit, go for it but be ready for it. If you don't want to quit, that's fine by me. I'm not going to go on a rampage telling everyone they need to quit. I promise.

So, I'm grateful for the sunshine.
I'm grateful for my friends.
I'm grateful for support everyone's given me.
I'm grateful for a fridge of food.
I'm grateful I can sleep in again.
I'm grateful I'm not going to just walk out on my job.
I'm grateful I've come to the decision I can't do my job anymore.
I'm grateful I'm not stressing about it.
I'm grateful for nice cool breeze tonight.
I'm grateful for the colors the trees are turning.
I'm grateful to be alive today.
I'm grateful that I had today and enjoyed it.



Good Night.
