Encouragement Graphic #18

That pretty much sums up my life for the last few months. It seems as soon as one obstacle is out of the way another one comes up. Lately I have felt like an olympic athlete running the high hurdles, only I can't see the end of the course. I get really irritated with people who just lay down when life gives them a challenge, however lately I can certainly understand it.

We all have these blocks in our way. Wether it's quitting smoking, losing weight or an illness. I guess the trick is to find a way to look to tomorrow. Quitting smoking does get easier, losing weight will happen, and illness's can get better.

As some of you know my husband and I are going through the process of divorce. It is painful but I have to keep thinking there is a reason I am doing this and tomorrow is another day. I am beginning to feel like Scarlett Oharra in gone with the wind. I have said so often lately "tomorrow is another day". I know there is no one there actually saying it, but it feels like life is playing the part of Rhett Butler and saying... "Frankly my dear I don't give a dam".

For my friends here Thank you for checking on me, I am so grateful to have you. I am once again allowing a couple days for me to get used to all that is going on and I promise I'll be back with a smile on my face.

For anyone new to their quit... Please stay strong. Come read my page and a few blogs and you'll find out smoking has a huge price.
