Probably it will get better.

I've been in a funk every day, just staying home and trying to do my best.  I really notice that the more I accomplish here the better I feel.  I don't like it when I'm "stuck" in one place with all my thoughts.  I did get out yesterday to my parents house.  Each visit is precious.  Now when it comes down to it, it's up to me to make my day happen.

Change of seasons is tough for me and so many others.  Sept 6th 11 years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Thank goodness I had Brian here to help me through it.  I am just wandering aimlessly sometimes, lost in my own head.  I know smoking is off the table.  It would be nice, if I could figure out what I want to do with the rest of my life.

Right now, I'm just managing one day at a time.  Same for the quit.  One day at a time!  I got more patches at shopper's drug mart today, and that makes me very happy, that I could drive there to get them.

I am super worried about my daughter and her family in California, anxious, but there isn't one thing I can do for them except pray that they and their house will be ok.  Ok, this is nuts I'm rambling here, but I didn't smoke.

I am trying to focus on all the things to be grateful for.  I've had somewhat of a negative attitude lately, and I don't like that!!  thanks for reading all my EX friends. xo

I'm a widow now, my husband passed away January 1, 2018 He died of COPD, and pre leukemia and the flu. He quit smoking 15 years ago which gave him extra time. I am a mother, and grandmother. I have smoked for 47 years. I am going to have my forever quit and I'm doing it for me and my two daughters so I can live longer and be with them. I like to read, swim, garden, crochet, paint and doodle. I also enjoy walking and visiting with friends and family. I am 100% making this my last quit. I have been in denial about what smoking has done to me and my kids. I must make a new life for myself and it doesn't include cigarettes. I may already have COPD, but have not been officially diagnosed.
