Feeling good.

I have had weeks of depression but today I feel good.  Even tho we are under lockdown here in Winnipeg.  I have been self isolating for 2 weeks now anyway due to a sore throat.  I have discovered that I can order my groceries online, and that makes me very happy!

My daughter WILL be moving back in with me, and maybe my 17 year old grandson and my daughter's big white dog.

My house is small.  My daughter is hard to live with, but she says she's done with her husband.  She won't have to pay rent, so she can save up for her own place.  Aside from these worries, I actually feel calm.  I can handle this, right?

I said, I won't tell her what to do, if she doesn't tell me what to do.  I wonder how long that will last.

Where does this take me?  I won't be all alone in the house any more, altho I expect more stress.  Thank god she stopped smoking 3 years ago!!  Today is a sunny day!!  I have a lot to be grateful for.  Smoking is not an option.

Besides Friday the 13th is my lucky day!!

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.
