Crazy Butt Day
Well, yes… my tushie is crazy today. Why you ask?
I’m on my 6th day officially smoke free. I did it THIS time cold turkey. Wowza. Here’s what it’s like:
- I’ve gone nuts – as evident by chasing my boys (16 & 17 – both over 6′ tall and over 220lbs) through Starbucks with a teddy bear.
- Wanting to scream at the top of my lungs (which, btw actually hold AIR now)
- Burning SO much incense ’cause – WOW – I can smell it even better
- Yelling at my hubby (oh I’m horrid today!)
- Crying in bed wrapped in a blanket in a neo-natal position
- Laying in the backyard on my back in my ALMOST completed sanctuary staring so deeply into the blue sky I feel like I was flying
It’s a crazy day – but I feel and smell so wonderful.
My Father In Law passed away last October – I promised him I would stop soon, he told me he’d come after me if I didn’t.
He was an ornery old coot – and died of lung cancer. In being his “honorary daughter” and someone he shared with at the end in the most spiritual way I could have ever imagined – I’m taking control of my physical life because he said I’d be much happier if I lived healthy.
I believe you Harold… and feel you near me every moment I think of you. I love you and I miss you so so so much.
Love and Light,
Monica
