Happy moment

Staying with Dale's theme this morning, here a short story about yesterday.

I was driving to a new Dr's appointment yesterday morning, long drive, but going to a Dermatologist did not make me stress over it.

As I was again waiting for the light to turn green, I saw a driver, female, probably my age smoking in the car, window half open.

And it is when it happened: thinking of my journey here, thinking I am less than 3 months away from 2 years quitaversary (played with the word yesterday ), and a feeling of incredible gratitude invaded me: for the moment I took the clue it's time to quit, for the struggle of the first month, and the ability to overcome it, for the idea to call the insurance company and their referral to find you, and for the relentless support I received here!

There is no way to define what I felt, and how powerful the feeling was, and the more I think about it, the more I am tempted to call it pure happiness!  I had tears in my eyes, I felt all the cells of my body invaded by lightness, and I could see you all with my mind's eyes, you were all there.

And back to today's theme, yes, it is all in our heads, if we allow ourselves to look inside and be grateful for what we are, what we have, what we have became.
