I have been thinking for the last few weeks that something is missing here! I have heard it said that the joy and the enthusiasm is not here anymore! I wondered aloud where it went! One thing I have learned over the years is: If you are going to claim something is wrong, you had better be damn sure how much of it is your fault! So, let me start by taking a huge slice of the blame myself!
Today I looked and found the joy and the enthusiasm all over the place! It was in Aztec's blog to welcome our Butt-Kicker back! It was in Heidi's 300 day celebration! It was in Jamie's blog about her first 30 day's! And it was in all the responses to Laurie's search for help as she drops the NRT's! It was all over the place!! All the kindness and caring a person could possibly need is here! It was on display today!
There have been days when it was harder to find! We have lost some great people in the last few months! There are strong and quiet voices of reason that are rare visitors now! There are great cheerleaders who for one reason or another are no longer audible here! But we still have an excellent core of really good and caring people! This is still a great neighborhood to live in! Our families are not always on the same page, but we read the same book! We are here to help each other quit smoking, and stay quit! So let us re-double our efforts to replace the good that is no longer here until more good comes along! An extra 5 minutes of happiness is my pledge. I ask all of you who can to spread a little extra joy!
