Better Days

As I write this, I am Singing to Creator for a wonderful sunny day. The temperatures have been higher the last few days and that has eased some of my problems.

I am still "whistling" as I breathe, but it is a little easier to move the air today. 

I am still in isolation from everyone that has the flu. I placed myself here to avoid getting it again. 

My roommate's daughter came down with it this morning. I am staying away from her apartment till she gets over it. 

Over the last couple of days I have counted at least fourteen Robins around town. The forecast is looking pretty good, so maybe Spring is really coming soon.

I send peace and good thought to you, my EX family...

May you continue to have good fortune on your journey. 

To those that are experiencing rough traveling, I send strength and support. Hold to your resolve and use the tools that have brought you this far.

Travel strong my friends. The journey goes to a great place free from the prison of Nicotine addiction.

Follow the tracks of those that have gone before and you will not lose your way. 

We are watching you and cheering you on. Our hands are reaching to you if you need an anchor to hold to.

One step, and then another, will get you to where you want to be.

About the Author
I am a male that underwent coronary artery bypass X3 (triple) on 10/22/13 at the age of 55. I was living on about 20-30% of one coronary artery and my left heart output was only 20% to 25%. I spent a week in the hospital after surgery and went home. Then had to go back a day later for another week because I had pneumonia. Finally a few days because of a slight arythmia. All told it has been about 2 1/2 weeks. I am past the cravings by now and only have the urges to contend with. I really don't suggest that anyone quits smoking using this technique though. I'll have to carry the scars from that day for the rest of my life. The large one down the center of my chest, and the ones from several "silent" infarctions. I came that close to the next world. Never again will I subject my body to that (at one point in my life I was smoking 5 packs of cigarillos a day). I now have to say N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever) every day of my life.
