Rainy Sunday

[MichelleDiane]

You have to have rain to get to the rainbow.  I equate that with my journey to be smoke free.  I have had some great moments during  the past six weeks.  I have also had my share of not so great moments.  I know it's up to me to decide which moments to think about.  I really don't mind the rain.  I know that last night it was calming to listen to.  This morning it has even given me motivation to take care of the inside of my house.  Similar to what I am doing to overcome my nicotine addiction.  I am cleaning house.  It's an inside job someone told me and they were absolutely correct.  I know this, but there are times when the inside is erupting.  Instead of fighting it I am learning to accept that this will happen and I am successfully choosing to let it push me to positive places.  Each time I choose a positive place the molten lava goes down a different ravine and I am continuing my journey on a happier trail.  So happy to be on this path.  I can see the rainbow and now I'm going to bake oatmeal raisin cookies
