March 20, 20215 yr Linda I found with long and tedious tasks that if I just get started and keep telling my self I got this much done and in a bit I got even more done anf then one of those times I going to say hey I am done. I also found by doing things with People that don't smoke or even never smoked it helped me figure out what to do with the spare time instead of thinking about smoking. the best thing was I decided I could make those unique water fountains and wind chimes. so when I am out my head and eyes are now looking for thing I can make a fountain out of and then making them. Busy hands and mind help fill the time away from the smoking thoughts I have developed.
March 20, 20215 yr Author @Opah you always have such inspirational messages to share. I always enjoy everything you post. They always make me think!!! Thank you for sharing.
March 20, 20215 yr Thank you Linda, It is My pleasure to assist where I can. My grandfather was a very wise man and I loved him dearly, he always had these sayings to help me get thru life and most have stuck with me. Lets see if you can decipher the wisdom of a couple of them. You never mow your neighbors yard until you have mowed yours. Think and dream large, it is always better to have too much than not enough. Just a couple I have at the top of my head Edited March 20, 20215 yr by Opah
March 20, 20215 yr Author You have your grandfather's wisdom I'm sure he is proud of you. Take care of yourself and stay smokefree
March 20, 20215 yr "You have your grandfather's wisdom I'm sure he is proud of you" You know I believe we have a serious shortage of wise Loving old Grandfathers. I only hope that with my quit I live long enough and set the example well enough For my grand children. If you think about it you can be that Grand father or mother you so dearly loved, Years down the line your grand baby's will be talking about the Grand Parent they so dearly loved, and they will became a image of you and pass the love on. Such a beautiful Past, present and future that we have control of ! My grand father The future Grand Parents Such an awesome responsibility Dont you Think ? Smoke free and health for he future grandparents ! Edited March 20, 20215 yr by Opah
March 20, 20215 yr Man I am feeling very grounded today, Happy for where I am and where I am heading. Smoking doesn't even have a thought, God Fresh crisp Air, puppy breath, a bay's sour milk head. All smells I am still looking forward to enjoying. My baby's and Grand baby's will remember Opah's British Sterling and for those who will hunt with me Our Baby wipe bath smell. My children hug me and hold on now, they don't hold their breathe any more. So much has been added to my life and it has gotten to where I must take off my boots to count them. Mornings such as today my the whole process of quitting worth while. That first hug that they hold on and whisper that they love you and you get the second and third squeeze before they let go. I am Full, happy and looking at the future with eyes wide open, eager for what is ahead of me. Sorry guys I could just ramble on and on right now . I FEEL GOOD !
March 20, 20215 yr Author Wow Opah what a wonderful tribute to your grandfather. I am sure you are a wonderful grandfather passing down the wisdom Glad you are feeling so good today. That positive attitude will get you far on the road to your new adventure
