I am at peace but today was one of those days if I was a smoker I would have smoked a lot.  Funny after all that has taken place today I did not think about smoking at all.  My day started off as usual with the Ex and coffee then off to exercise class.  Returned home did a few things on line.   Dropped by my sister’s house found her sick in bed. In excruciating pain. That is when the day became hectic running errands for her, answering calls from home care for assistance.  She was in so much pain she could not talk.  She had called Rescue because she had fallen ( a second time this week)  In the meantime  I am going back and forth to my house to keep a check on my dad.  Running errands for my dinner which I haven’t prepared yet.  Ended up at the hospital with family to support my son in law who is having surgery.     At the end of this day on my way home, I thought I haven’t had a desire for a cigarette or thought about one.  I did notice while doing errands that I have an automatic breathing exercise that comes into play when things get hectic.  It has replaced puffing a stinky.  That is why today I am saying.  “I am free.”  446 Days of freedom.  Hallelujah.
