Sazerac

thinking about nourishment. where is my beautiful wife ? my handsome chef ? hellooooo ! helloooooooooooooo.... savory ricotta tart ? w/basil, caramelized onions and sun dried tomatoes ? or scrambled eggs in a flour tortilla w/dollop of ricotta and build the tart tomorrow. I'll put sliced onions in the crock pot and they will be caramelized by morning. That is if I don't wake up with the awesome smell in the middle of the night and eat them. All of them.

I've never played with water colour pencils before. I really like 'em. You can go back and lift out colour...v. cool. I'll mess with this again tomorrow.

I never put @reciprocity and my reciprocating 'friend' together in my brain before. Will the two be forever linked now ? Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. I just hope @StewieTech i.e. Pork Chop 'The Lad' won't be too furious. Vroom Vroom. Vroom Vroom Vroom.....

c'mon, Muses ! Where y'at ? Do the Muses need their own Muse ? I want a list of hundreds of things to choose from !

Not me, I have the reciprocating model

hour doodle, water colour pencils on 12"x12"canvas. I'll spend tomorrow's hour or more on it tomorrow. It might turn into something, or not. Doesn't matter. The point was in the doing. It was SO hard to get started.

I stayed away from alcohol for a short time and surprisingly, it didn't matter. My resolve was steadfast. That is the point, your resolve, your commitment to yourself to never take another puff is the key component.

You know, I am still so thankful for quitting smoking. Good to hear you, Parsley.

Thank you so much for your post, @Wee fluffy me ! Your presence here is really appreciated and I am so glad you quit smoking !

I need a muse also. In fact, I need a train load of muses to get me up off my rusty dusty. When are we starting this ? Monday ?

I will join you in the challenge. One Hour ? Drawing/painting or writing a short piece we could switch it up depending on mood or location. Ideas for subjects....plenty of darling smoke free creatures to think of plenty of subjects...maybe one day is self portrait day either paint or words. One hour a day ? I'll try. what is the first challenge ? when do we start ? who else is in ?

Congratulations Kelly ! How are you feeling ?

Well, you can see why I am not to be trusted with dates. A day late and a month early. Cristóbal's six year anniversary is next month. October 14. Never too early to celebrate, right !?

September 14, 2018 marks SIX years of freedom for our great friend, Cristóbal. He has been incredibly influential in many, many people's quits, including mine. He has so many great posts, you can stroll through them all Cristóbal's Topics. Your Quit & Your Life -The Proper Sequence is one of my favourites. Sending him lots of love and best wishes. mucho amor y mejores deseos Love, S

Happy Birthday, Jane ! Celebrate wildly ! I'll bring the band

We can delay our response to stressful situations until we are quite removed from them. Then, afterwards feeling proud and calm , get hit broadside and feel the impact. You are wrenching yourself away from Nicotine, this is a very big deal. Take really good care of yourself. These are not just words to slough off, you must nurture and reward yourself, especially now. Your brain is learning a whole new way of living, a whole new set of responses will be ignited. Have you read this ? The Significance of Rewards I am so happy, @Parsley that you reached out. Don't forget we are all on your side, for true. s

All I know is a lot of power is out and the rain keeps a falling. Levi will have information in an hour.
