Who knew driving could do all this
Today I drove home (to Texas) from Baton Rouge. It was ABSOLUTLY the best thing for me right now. I drove 6 hours just my kitty (Lexie) and I. It was just her and I on the open road. I had the windows down and I was blaring the most random, but perfect music. It gave me time to think, reflect, and just be on my own which I have really needed lately. I decided to quit smoking YAY ME!!!!!!!!! It's only been one day but I'm doing well so far. This is something that I really want and need to do. Smoking does nothing good for me at all. At first I would just smoke when I went out, but then it turned into me smoking all the time. I know I can do this. When I get stressed, or bored I smoke so now I am going to do other things to fill that void. I really want to start running again and now I can, because I will feel better and healthier. I really love to run and it will be a great stress reliever, better then a cigarette. It really has been a great day. I feel like I am a lot happier with myself. I know that this will not be an overnight process, but I feel like I'm off to a good start. I remembered what is really important in life and that is to love my family, to love my TRUE friends, and to love myself. For now that is all that I need to worry about everything else will work out on it's own if I focus on what really matters. I just feel really great right now and I feel like this is the beginning of a great me. Not a new me, but just one that has been on vacation for a while ;)
