Today was the second(?) time I've had what I'll call the 'smoking memory' come to mind.  It's what happens to everyone who's quit smoking and usually stays with a person for life.  It's the one where the thought "When I finish this or before I do that, I'll go have a cigarette" pops into mind.  "I don't do that anymore" works for most people.  I don't even have to say the phrase anymore I just laugh off the fact that it actually popped in my mind.  Our minds have so much power to remember the smoking reflex, and yet I still can't remember where to find the keys I lost 3 months ago...   

Happy Satire Day!

I had smoked 35 years. I consider myself 'certifiably crazy' (jokingly) and anyone that knows me can attest to that : ) I am a certified Reiki practioner, I love heavy metal music even though I'm over 50; animals of all kinds and will rescue and rehab (if possible) any beastie I come across; I love raising ducks; riding horses; embroidery, and of course sarcasm. I am looking forward to the rest of my life as a non-smoker.
