A Precious Privilege

~~When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive-to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.~~  Marcus Aurelius

 

I am so thankful to be alive today even with the rain, the cold, and the gray skies this morning.  I am truly blessed with my family, my friends, my health, and especially my quit.  275 days of not smoking!  I'm finally to a place in my life where I fully appreciate the little things and don't worry about what may be a "big" thing some day.

 

Don't believe everything you think....especially in the early days of your quit.  Remember that your brain wants that nicotine and will lie to you to get it.  Yes, you can remain quit.  Yes, you can get through ANYTHING without a cigarette!  The world isn't against you and your life has as much meaning as mine.  Take care of yourself and treat yourself well.  You are worth it.

 

Didn't mean to get off subject or preach 🙂  I just wanted to let you know that it is such a precious privilege to be alive.  Don't waste time wanting something that will just kill you in the end.  Enjoy the world.....it is full of goodness and beauty.

 

Hugs,

Sheri
