I admit it...I am a word girl. They have such meaning for me and I get so thrilled when I read something that resonates with me 
Let me share a few quotes with you that simply stunned me:
~~Worry is worshipping the problem.~~ Toby Mac
~~Underestimate me. That'll be fun.~~ Unknown
~~If you don't believe in miracles, perhaps you've forgotten you are one.~~ Unknown
~~You are the only you that will ever be....you're kind of a big deal.~~ Jen Sincero
I understand that other people aren't as word loving as I am. Some are more visual and get thrilled at seeing a sunset. Some are music people (that's my second) and a good piece of music touches their soul. Others are foodies...not in the sense of eating everything but rather finding their spirituality in hosting a dinner or creating a masterpiece meal.
But there is something in you that craves that special something. You know, that gives your life purpose and meaning. That is special maybe only to you but whatever it is, it makes you complete. Joyful. Calm.
Please share if you understand what I'm talking about It is so much easier to quit smoking when you can turn to something you love and it makes you feel better. It makes you forget everything else when you're doing it.
If you don't have it yet, find it! Explore your likes and dislikes. Your skills. Your talents. Those special things that make you, you Because when you do, you'll turn to it time and time again rather than going back to smoking. Because there is where the joy is.
I love the quote, "underestimate me..." That is ME to a TEE! The medical staff where I was so decimated by the aftermath of two surgeries and two battles with infections in the rehab facility told my daughter that I would not ever be strong enough to live at home alone. My daughter's response, "You don't know my Mom!" The rest, as they say, is history!
Water is my nirvana. Walking beside a body of water, most any water (except rain puddles! ) will do. I love nothing in life more than walking at the ocean's edge, with the wave foam tickling my toes, or walking on a path by a river with sunlight reflected on its currents and rapids, or wading in a lake with the tiny fish nibbling at my toes.
Walking most anywhere with sunlight on my face is a close second, and the feel of water moving past me and the rhythm of swimming, is, I guess, in third place!
Great topic. Can't wait to read other responses!
I can absolutely see you with "Underestimate me, that will be fun" And for some reason, I can see you as a water baby. Maybe because I know you love to swim?
