We both play guitar & he does the singing. I guess I say that because I am not a big fan of country music, don't hate it, but you would never catch me with a country radio station on or CD in my car. That being said the oldies we play are starting to grow on me. Lol I'm a Rock chick, for sure - but I like Blues & Rockabilly, too. My husband watches scads of music shows so I appreciate all sorts of music & musicians. I love that your daughter has a resident that she shares her time with, I'll bet they have a fantastic time together! They will hold each other in theirs hearts forever.Some people go about life as usual when they quit because that is what works best for them. For my quit there was a lot of avoidance - I avoid situations or people or anything else that worried me. My husband and I play music at nursing homes, we play really old country music from the 30's 40's & 50's. (Ok, not my style of music, but the residents love it!!!) When I decided to quit smoking I told my husband I wanted to put playing out on the back burner for at least a year. He would do anything to help my quit, so he was on board and supportive of my decision. Well March rolled around this year & after a huge ship party, I got to thinking I needed to book some shows. I continued to drag my feet for a couple more months, but finally kicked myself in the butt and got out the schedule planner. We did a program last Saturday and it was great - we had a wonderful group of folks, they sang along to every song - it was a blast! I felt normal. I'm getting there. I just needed to share...thanks. KTQCan't listen to this without getting up and bustin' my moves all over the living room!!!!!Today is my Mom's death day anniversary (lung cancer) She died the day before my youngest daughter's 6th birthday. For the next 4 years, my daughter cried herself to sleep the night before her birthday. (we never mentioned my mom at that time, she simply remembered) On her death bed, my mom asked me to to promise her I would quit smoking. I made that promise to her - never intending to keep it. That was 31 years ago.......... KTQ While I'm here................. I would like to say something to any lurkers reading this - I smoked for over 46 years (some people here have smoked even longer than that) I am a serial quitter with many failed attempts under my belt If you are here at the Quit Train, you probably are thinking about quitting I hate to sound cliche, but if I can do it - anyone can do it So please take a leap of faith, stop thinking about it, you can do it...you can quit smoking! You will find strength you never new you had One day at a time... some days may be rough, but sometimes life is rough There is always someone here for you, you will NEVER be alone in this Put down the excuses and do this for you!Guess what I still do On Thursdays I write Haiku It's my new habitCongratulations Octain on 4 months!"our song" on my 42nd anniversary - May 5th 1976this one goes out to the one I love.......Woodstock What foreign language would you love to be able to speak?
