No time

For anything just now. I expect it will change soon. Day 18 of not smoking. I am feeling a lot of negative things about my boss and my daughter. (Separately; they have nothing to do with each other, just thought I’d make that clear.) Lots of stress. Quick posting before I help N finish his homework (yes, from last night) and then go in to do a mountain of work. I am very glad I have learned to look in the mirror. I wish others knew how to do that.

Live. And let live.

Slender notes
light on my hearing they tiptoe
inspiration
exhalation
sounds for a dreamscape

Somewhere a curtain billows
this is the music of hope in breezes
carelessly tossing seeds to see
what might come of their landing
here or there

There is more to it
where are you celebrating
we should change our number
don’t say a word
I’m listening softly

Not smoking probably makes the negative more negative right now. BUT keep up the good work… you will not regret it. Interesting about looking in the mirror. Sometimes we tend to overlook our own faults and failings and blame others when we ought to be looking at ourselves. I am thinking of another diarist who gets into bad relationships and never takes responsibilty. Ms. Victim… oh please.

Whenever I’ve gone through a challenge that has asked allot of me, it seems as if the world shuts down, and suddenly there is no one comforting me, and then when the storm finally passes and I’m well again, I realize my resentment was out of line with the truth…but then again, your daughter is a teen, and all teens are self-centered. hugs.

Bravo to you for not smoking. That’s the biggie. Visualization tricks for turning it over help too. 🙂

Woman of many hats..

a *hug* for day 18 – yay you!

DAY 18 !!! That is truly awesome !!! I wish you had less stress from others. But, I know you. You can just keep on taking those deep breaths and just let those others blow about and you do what you need to do and be proud of your efforts. This will all pass and is/will be worth it! You are doing great stuff!!! 😀

Hey friend, I am really, really proud of you and so pleased that you are getting through this quitting smoking thing! You are a wonderful person and will get to feel and enjoy that much more as you get further through this process. It’s a rough time for many right now, emotionally and however else, so just hang on. Rainbows of joy are getting closer all the time 🙂 Love,

Never knew redmoonrising was Daisy until she left a note in my dear daisy diary entry. And she’s deaf. Oops! Not a nasty note, a surprised one. Had to leave her note saying, I had no idea. Well done miss smokeless zone. *chuckles*
