Hello old friends and new exes! Just stopping by to say I am still smoke free!  I have faced some of the most difficult challenges in my life since I quit! I still have stressful moments when I think, "OMG, I want a cigarette!" but I am able to laugh at the thought and feel proud, confident and strong in my commitment to be forever smoke free!

I often feel it is because I quit smoking that I have the strength, courage and confidence to address several other difficult issues in my life! I am still uncovering my "new normal" and, for the most part, I am enjoying the discoveries along the way!!! Another great big yippie, the 'Ben & Jerry's pounds' are gone! Still meditating, doing yoga, running a couple miles a day and trying to stay in the moment! Even though my doc says it's time to give it up, I have a (final?) surf trip planned in April!! I may lay on the board and soak up the sun more than actually surf!

Much,much love and gratitude to everyone that has been on this path with me! I would not be here without the love, support and encouragement that can always be found here! I miss everyone but know that I come here often to read and I think of you all with great fondness.
