Do You Know?

[SimplySheri]

~~She knew not how lovely she was....not until he gave her all the reasons to love herself by showing her a tiny glimpse of what he saw in her every day....~~  Unknown

Do you know?  Do you know how strong you are?  How brave?

Do you know how witty and bright you are?  How charming?

Do you know how very talented you are?  How creative?

So often our quits...just like our smoking...becomes the center of our universe.  While that is ok for a time as we adjust to our new, smoke free lives, staying focused on our quits to the exclusion of other things in our lives can be quite damaging.

So hear those around you.  You are lovely.  In mind, in body, in spirit.  There is no one in the world with your style, with your brilliance, with your character.  You are unique, you are remarkable, and you are irreplaceable.

Keep your head up.  Take care of that precious quit by taking care of that precious quitter.  Know yourself, love yourself, and be your own hero.  Your own best friend, supporting and encouraging and cheering yourself on.  And allow those who love you to continue to love you.  Continue to share your journey.  And continue to find you the most amazing you in the world.

I hope you see the glimpses we see in you.  The warrior.  The grace and strength.  The stunning brilliance.  It's magnificent.  And so are you.
