Yosemite

So, a while ago, back as a non-smoker, I went to Yosemite. It was beautiful out, even though it was cold at night. This time I brought warm pajamas and extra blankets. This was the last week in April. Unlike last year when we went there, I was actually able to hike up partway the mist trail. I didn't even get tired, we had to turn back because my dad's knee was giving out (there were a lot of slippery steps on the way up and puddles along the way) and my mom couldn't carry her bag up the steps, and we didn't like leaving her alone. Before, I didn't even make the hike to the mist trail. It was awesome! When I reached out to my Facebook family about wanting a smoke, my sister reminded me of how far I went up the mist trail compared to how far I made it last time and the breath and muscle tone I had since I quit. I've kept that in my mind even as I prepared for my upcoming re-quit. It was a fantastic experience, and I have pictures!

Sorry, the photos uploaded sideways for some reason. They always do from my phone.
