This is going to be an extremely busy week. I work all week, of course and then I have a relay for life meeting on Tuesday evening, teach religious ed to 5th and 6th graders Wednesday evening, start setting up for my Chili cook-off on Friday for our Saturday event. And the most wonderful thing about my busy week is that I'm doing all the things I love to do!!
It used to be that when I quit smoking, I would hide in the house so I didn't embarrass myself by crying or being short tempered...all the things that sometimes happen during a quit. This time I committed to my quit and decided that life was going on and I wasn't going to miss any of it 🙂
I love my volunteer work. I love teaching my kids about God. I love each minute of every day that I'm alive. No more hiding in the house, no more "I'll get out more when I feel good about my quit", and definitely no more wasting time. Life is too short to do anything but be happy and enjoy what I've got.
You were put here for a reason.....you add something to life that no one but you can bring. Love your sparkle and find where you shine! Some people shine here on EX. Others shine within their families. Still others volunteer. Sing, dance, be silly, be happy, enjoy!! Don't allow your world to revolve around your quit. You are so much more than that!!
I love to read blogs where people sparkle. Happy, excited, or simply confident. It makes me smile. I hope all of us can find our shine and enjoy our sparkle. Life is too short for anything else.
May you have a lovely week!
