I Hope Your Eyes Are Sparkling

~~At the end of the day, your feet should be dirty, your hair should be messy and your eyes sparkling.~~ Unknown

I used to not get a whole lot done when I was a smoker.  "I'll do it later".  "After this cigarette".  "I have to run to the store".  You know, I was too busy being a smoker, thinking about smoking, and wanting to smoke to actually have a life.

I didn't realize it when I smoked.  I didn't think it took up all my time.  It wasn't until I quit that I realized I created my life around my addiction.  Sad, pathetic, really icky.

But it's over.  At the end of the day, my feet are dirty (usually from dancing in the front yard), my hair is messy (usually because I don't care about messy hair), and my eyes are sparkling.  I love my life!!

In reality, you may not want dirty feet.  It may creep you out.  Messy hair?  Some yes, some no.  But at the end of the day, I hope your eyes are sparkling!!  I hope you love your life!!  I hope you can now find the time to do those things you always promised yourself you'd do. 

After three years of being smoke free, I am still finding new and different things to occupy my time.  Learning sign language, volunteer teaching at church, riding a unicycle.....and I love history, am thinking of a new career, and I want to continue to giggle.....a lot.

This is my life.  I am delighted with it.  I hope the same for you, my friends....and I hope your eyes are sparkling!!   Sheri
