Been a While!

Just checking in! It's been a while since I have.  Everything is good and of course, busy with the holiday's coming up! It's strange to think it's almost Christmas because here in Pennsylvania, the sun is still shining, the trees are still changing and it's basically still a cool 50 degree's or so.  Makes me think if I could handle a Florida holiday season with no weather change, like some of my family experiences.  

But what is strangest of all... or maybe not strange at all.. was a few days ago, it started getting cold. I walked outside from being in work all day and the cold breeze hit me in the face and at that instance BAM BOOM SPLAT! I wanted a smoke.  How strange?  The cold must be a trigger which I never quite thought about.  I got in my car and began the new routine i've created for this new life.  Popped in 2 pieces of gum (To blow propper bubbles), cranked the radio (YAY Christmas music!) and sang my heart out.  The craving passed and soon i had forgotten all about it. It's strange how things like that still happen and i suppose the random triggers not yet discovered will trickle in again and again. The bottom line is, I'm going strong and looking forward to my one year mark in 116 days. 

This year, I'm thankful for my new friends here who, as strangers, helped me get to this point in my life where I can proudly say "I'm a non-smoker". God bless!
