NursesNaturally ( http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=82203 ) had run a thread regarding the paranormal back around Halloween. I had posted in the thread saying that I do believe in the paranormal because I had seen my grandfather after he had passed. She asked if one day, she could use my story on her blog. I agreed.
Well, today, she featured my shop with a video! How seriously awesome is that????

It's Going to be OK
Yeah.
I think it is.
I went out for a few hours just by myself last night. I parked down by the river, watched as the river raced past. Watched the lights of the town dance on its surface. With music playing and notebook in hand, I wrote. I wrote down what was in my head and my heart. I haven't done that in a while.
And you know what? It felt good. Awesome even.
By the time I found my way home, I was in much higher spirits. I'm still scared as hell, but I'm more comfortable with what happened and what was said. And I realized that it's OK to be scared.
Life is a roller coaster.
And I get to ride it with a new love and awesome friends. ;P

Quitting Smoking
I decided to quit smoking. After 21 years. Yes, I started when I was 12. Yes, I used to steal my dad's smokes. Yes, I used to be able to go to the corner store prior to turning 18 and buy them (we used to get away with saying the smokes were for our parents).
But, after all this time, I figured it was time to quit.
On Monday, July 14, 2008, I began my journey.
It hasn't been easy. The cravings sometimes get really bad. But, I breath, talk a walk, do something else and they go away.
I have also begun exercising.
We had gotten a Wii a couple of weeks ago. Yes, I'm addicted to Rock Band now (I even have a set of drumsticks aquired from Neil Peart that I use for the drums. My kids use the sticks that came with it to beat each other with.). A week ago, we aquired Wii Fit.
I have one word for Wii Fit: awesome.
It has yoga, aerobics, strength exercises and balancing exercises. It weighs you, checks your BMI. I can feel and see my progress after even just one week (although I haven't been able to exercise due to my previous post ~ it hurts too much). Already, though, I can jog in place for 4 minutes and not even feel winded! I've already pushed myself up to 20 jacknifes! I'm so proud! And my tummy is even flatter!
So, I'm getting through this not smoking. I feel powerful over the cravings. I feel powerful that I haven't had a smoke since 11:23 pm on Sunday, July 13, 2008.
