Sometimes taking the shortcuts will give you just that. a quick way to fail

Shortcuts are good when your running from the rain, 

making up for time lost to get to work on time,

Finishing off a recipe when your lacking all the ingredients….

But rarely do they have a place in your quit.

It pays to take the longer road most times. 

You get to see-feel-smell-experiance ALL of your senses to complete the inside of you 

that needs time 

to heal-repair-understand…and just take care of you.

Nothin wrong with that. Find out what you need to take care of you and don rush it. Prepare and plan and find out the when and why’s……don’t just dive in without checking the depth of the water.

Okay, so I back. Family stuff-dog stuff-health stuff with elderly parents and in-laws. Full plate, yes.

I am doing great though. I have so many awesome people in my life here and outside of Ex that I surround myself with and I am not afraid to ask for help when I need it. Hey we all need it now and then, yes?

Anyway, sure have missed all my peeps here on EX and I am going to be more active again now. 

So Short story Long…take care of you. Figure out exactly what that means. Its going to be more complex than you think because I bet many of you have not yet done that….figured it all out Once you do, I promise, it will change again. So be ready. Ready to take care of you.

Don’t take shortcuts with your quit. Take the long way. Enjoy the journey more by learning everyday what makes you feel. Just feel. Go out and walk in the fresh April air. I cannot WAIT to begin walking again. The twins leave in another hour and I am headed out to the long path. I will breath in and take it all in. Cant walk? Music videos and a chair. ….stretch, open a window. Breath.

Meanwhile I LOVE this guy, Jason Mraz and especially this particular song of his. So positive. Heres the Lyrics. I highly recommend his videos. Uplifting

So my wish for each and every one of you is this: I want you to have it all.

It’s good to be back to this site, I sure missed you guys

Lyrics- Have it all

Artist: Jason Mraz

May you have auspiciousness and causes of success

May you have the confidence to always do your best

May it take no effort in you being generous

Sharing what you can, nothing more, nothing less

May you know the meaning of the word happiness

May you always lead from the beating in your chest

May you be treated like an esteemed guest

May you get to rest

May you catch your breath

And may the best of your todays be the worst of your tomorrows

Woa-oh

And may the road less paved be the road that you follow

Woa-oh

Well, here's to the hearts that you gonna break

Here's to the lives that you gonna change

Here's to the infinite possible ways to love you

I want you to have it

Here's to the good times we gonna have

You don't need money, you've got free pass

Here's to the fact that I'll be sad without you

I want you to have it all

All (all)

I want you to have it all (have it all)

I want you to have it (have it all)

I want you to have it all (have it all)

May you be as fascinating as the slap bracelet

May you keep the chaos and the clutter off your desk

May you have unquestionable health and less stress

Having no possessions though immeasurable wealth

May you get a gold star on your next test

May your educated guesses always be correct

And may you win prizes, shining like diamonds

May you really own it each moment to the next

And may the best of your todays be the worst of your tomorrows

Woa-oh

And may the road less paved be the road that you follow

Woa-oh

Well, here's to the hearts that you gonna break

Here's to the lives that you gonna change

Here's to the infinite possible ways to love you

I want you to have it

Here's to the good times we gonna have

You don't need money, you've got free pass

Here's to the fact that I'll be sad without you

I want you to have it all

All (all)

I want you to have it all (have it all)

I want you to have it (have it all)

I want you to have it all (have it all)

Oh, I want you to have it all

All you can imagine, oh

No matter what your path is

If you believe it then anything could happen

Go go go, raise your glasses

Go go go, you can have it all

I told you here's to the hearts that you gonna break

Here's to the lives that you gonna change

Here's to the infinite possible ways to love you

I want you to have it

Here's to the good times we gonna have

You don't need money, you've got free pass

Here's to the fact that I'll be sad without you

I want you to have it all

All (all)

I want you to have it all (have it all)

I want you to have it (have it all)

I want you to have it all (have it all)

I want you to have it

(All)

Here's to the good times we gonna have

(I want you to have it all)

Here's to you always making me laugh

(I want you to have it all)

Here's to the fact that I'll be sad without you

(I want you to have it all)

I want you to have it all

Smoking is not an option for me. I no longer have a wishbone to quit smoking...I developed a backbone and I quit. When you're sick and tired of being sick and tired, you will quit smoking too.
