Being Me

~~In a world where you can be anything, be yourself.~~  Unknown

 

My name is Sheri, I am a mother, a grandmother, a case manager.  I love to dance, love to laugh, hate numbers of any kind, and dislike money.  I can create, I can organize, I cannot change my oil or fix plumbing problems.

I quit smoking 430 days ago.  I celebrated each and every day for the first month.  Now I simply quietly applaud every now and then 🙂

Be yourself as you quit.  Find yourself in your quit.  You are a lovely person inside with amazing talents, strengths, and courage.  It's all there.  You just have to use it.  I can promise you that you will never, ever regret quitting.

So who are you?  Are you funny?  Are you creative?  Are you calm?  Can you write?  Draw?  Build?   

Find your strengths, my dear friends, and lean on them for a while.  Be yourself, whoever you are.  And always remember that you are doing something remarkable!!  You are taking back control of your life.  Magnificant!!

What a lovely Friday morning to be smoke free........

Sheri

Morning Sheri.     Your blogs always calm me.     When I read them I picture you dancing with a flowing gown, glowing face and a smile that is peace-giving!

Thanks for today!

I still am counting each and every day and I will do that until I feel I don't need to remind myself.

Exactly, Sharon!!  You are doing what's right for you and I simply find that delightful 🙂  Knowing what you have to do to stay quit is just what keeps that quit going.  Love your attitude and love your quit!!

Congrats on 430--outstanding!!!!

Who am I?

I am a listener and I like to ask people questions (helps me to understand).

peacemaker, leader, organizer, a loyal friend, defender for the under dog (LOL), gee I sound a little stuck on myself (LOL).

I spent years as a computer analysis, have a Doctorial in computor science and a ba in HC Administration. Worked as a guard at a jail, had my own lawn service company and now work as a security guard PT.

I love art, music (piano and sing), learning Tai Chi, have lots of friends, love people, have 5 children, 13 grandchildren, and 6 great grandchildren. Pretty much just a regular person who stays busy.

XOXO
