Gratitude

I'm really feeling it.  Yesterday was 50, so add up another tally for today and that makes 51 at day's end. Last night my 5 year old daughter gave me a spontaneous hug and when I told her she was a good girl she looked me right in the eyes and said, "You're a good mama."

How did I get so lucky?  How do I let myself forget that sometimes?  Remember, there are people who love you, depend on you, and have your back.  I know that since I've made  it this far without smoking, I can get through the rest of No Man's Land and beyond.  Just keep adding up my days and counting my blessings.  And when I get down I come on here and blog or go on youtube and watch Joel Spitzer videos.  I think I've become somewhat obsessed with his lips. Its almost like I want to reach out and pinch them and kiss them.  Is that weird? Yes, yes it is.  Oh well.   

Thanks to my wonderful family here at home and to my EX-family here and to Joel's beautiful lips and the messages that pour forth from them!

Have a Grateful Day!

hahahahahaha about pinching and kissing Joel's lips, that made my day! You also brought tears to my eyes, you are so right  about the people who count on us, I used to feel so ashamed when I would tell my 3 girls I wasn't  smoking anymore but they would smell it on me and be so sad....thank God we don't have to face that anymore, right! I love this blog!
