Snowwwww and LOTS of it!!

Snow, snow, snow. I am so tired of snow. (Well, I did get some great pictures......) Here's the first one that I took when I woke up this morning. 

Some icicles that I thought were cool! 

Okay, so far 2011 is going well. I love being an ex! I used to love taking pictures, I am just an amateur, but I admire the work of so many professionals. So I have decided to join in on this 365 project where I will take a photo a day for an entire year. I am loving it so far. It keeps my mind occupied. I finish school at the end of the month so I will have some extra time on my hands, and I would HATE to get bored and get the urge to light up again. I think that was the biggest thing about my habit. The most RETARDED thing about my habit. I didn't actually ENJOY it, it was something to do. So, now I will find things that are far more productive and won't kill me in the long run. Speaking of which (kind of) I am still working out with the Kinect. The first day, I was pretty sure that my legs were broken, I could NOT move, but I kept going and my muscles are starting to cooperate and I'm actually having fun! 

40 days in the morning. 40 days? That FLEW by! I'm proud of myself! 🙂 

It DOES get easier. I am taking my life back and I'm loving every moment of it!

Neesha, where the hell do you live??? Certainly not in my state! (California)

Hey, I was born here. Everyone else should go back to where they moved here from!

Congrats on your 40 days! Love the photography! I'm an amateur, too, but my brother gave me a wonderful camera and I love taking shots. It's been gray here, tho. Not the time I want to take shots. Took some artsy fartsy ones of fog. Someday maybe I'll get them posted....

Man, keep up the good work, girl!

WOW 40 days!? I have been keeping track of your quit here and there and 40 days! Friggen' A!!

That is an amazing effort. I couldn't be anymore proud!

A fellow becomeanex member called Linda showed me a quote by Peggy and the first thing she said was this: "Remember, smoking doesn’t relieve the cravings… it actually CAUSES them."

Wouldn't you agree? I couldn't agree more!

You are one strong, optimistic minded person, Neesha and it shows! We need more people like you on here! 

I love the photos too! HUGS!
