Day 2

No------Not Day2 of not smoking. It's Day 2 of trying to figure out the new format! I did promise to stay more connected, and this is my way of keeping that promise. If nothing else, I am tenacious!

The tenacity did serve me well when I decided to quite smoking. I can get very stubborn, even mule-headed, but I do everything in my power to keep my word. I decided I was going to quit smoking, and I did accomplish that.

I have always been hesitant to say flat out that I will NEVER smoke again because I have to remember first and foremost I am an addict. I must always remember at those times when I really want to go buy a pack of cigarettes that it is the ego of addiction nagging me. If I forget that fact, the swan-song of "just one won't hurt" will of a certainty suck me right back into feeding that ego.

Ego has led me down the primrose path too many times in my life with disastrous results for me to want to follow that call again. For me, personally. I would rather let Holy Spirit lead.

There is one tid-bit I ran across: "Do not ask the Lord to guide your footsteps if you are not willing to move your feet."

Anyway

Hugs & Blessings all around
