Another post

Almost two weeks now that I have quit smoking. I'm done...thank god...now I can start losing weight again. Get my fat ass back on the treadmill. Just got home from playing Kanasta at Aunt Carol's with Keri and my cousin Kathy. We had a good time. Relived the old days....talked about disgusting family members (I won't mention any names) and just had a generally good time. I feel bad for Aunt Carol. Chemo has got to be pure hell and then dialisis (not sure on the spelling) on top of that. She's seemed pretty down today. I just hope she doesn't give up the fight. I'll help however I can. I'm sure it can't be easy. I have to figure out how to start a benefit for her. You see all of these people that have benefits for people that have cancer. I have no clue how to get one started, or what is all involved. Looks like I will have to do some research. Alright...that is enough for tonight. I don't know how much longer I will keep going on this blog thing. No one leaves comments or anything. Kind of boring. This is a picture of my Aunt Carol by the way.

Almost a Week

Tomorrow will be one week since I have quit smoking. I have to be honest....I really don't want one. I had a little craving this last week, but nothing severe. All I had to do was smell someone else smoking and that did it for me. I will say though, I am not going to be one of those "type" you know the kind....the ones that complain every time someone lights up. I know how hard it is to quit. It's been an interesting week to say the least. Work, parents, life in general...keepin' it real. That is all i really have to publish for today. I will have some additional thought provoking things to add another time. Maybe after the family gathering tomorrow.

YUK!!!!

OK...so I started smoking again in Februrary. I have been trying on and off to quit again. This is it! Today is my first full day without a cigarette! I have be honest, I don't know why I started back up in the first place. I stopped by my parents before going to work and they were smoking....YUK!!!!!! So, I think this is it this time. I already feel a little more energized even though I have a little bit of a cold. YEP, you guessed it, Keri gave me her cold. Caring is sharing I guess. Another reason I have decided to quit smoking is for my aunt. I guess I have a really hard time looking at her...fighting the battle against cancer and saying; "Excuse me, I'm going to step outside so I can have a cigarette." So, there it is. I'm all done. I can't wait to start feeling better again!

Peace

A couple of weeks ago I found out that an aunt of mine was diagnosed with cancer; Stage 4. Her and I used to be really close about 10 years ago. Something happened that changed that. To be honest, I don't even remember what it was. All I know is that I distanced myself and kept it that way. My cousin called and asked if I was willing to make the peace. I had no interest in drudging up the past. Especially things I didn't remember. No good would come of it. On Thursday I went to my aunt's house. We hung around and just basically chit-chatted. Felt good. She is a fighter. She is going to fight the cancer and I really hope that she wins! I pray for her always! I feel good about rebuilding our relationship! Life's too short! Take it from me...don't stay angry at anyone, don't hold a grudge! Enjoy the time that you have on this earth. I wish I would have spent more time with my Aunt Sheila before she died....I miss her!

First Post

OK. This is my first post! I have never blogged before, but it seems like the cool thing to do. I will try it and see how it goes. I hope I am popular enough to have people comment. Probably not...lol. Alright I don't know what else to say today. I'm watching the Olympics (GO USA)! I'm chatting with Dela (GO DELA)! Also, Keri went to bed early. She is sick. She better not give it to me! Have a good night!
