I am sick of being negative, depressed and downright miserable so I have decided that I have no control over the weather what so ever, so I might just as well relax . I am on my 219 th DOF from cigarettes and I am so happy about that and very thankful to all the wonderful people on this site that has helped me to get here. I need to remember to look for the good in every situation and when we look hard enough we will always find it . A good friend of mine barely got out of her house yesterday morning at 3 am she lives in a rural area like I do  she had to jump out of her 2 storey house because she woke up to her house completely engulfed in flames. She threw her little dog out and jumped out herself, the mountains of snow is very hard and she hurt herself so she crawled down her long driveway in -17 °F temps in blizzard conditions to get help. She had no house insurance but everyone including her church will have a benefit deal of some kind for her . She's got frost bite and a broken vertebrae in her back but will not lose any fingers or toes thank God. With this happening to my 66 yr old friend that almost died yesterday puts my pity party into perspective. My friend will be ok because we will all be here for her.

I'm a proud Gram of 2 grandsons and a granddaughter and I consider myself a jack of all trades and a master of none, plus I enjoy reading and being outside and since quitting smoking breathing is so much easier because I'm not coughing half of my time sucking on a cancer stick....
