Walk a Mile In My Shoes....

I started a walking regimen. Okay, don't get excited. lol. Right now, it's two days a week. So far, I've walked about a half mile. I want to work up to walking two miles when I walk and then work up to more. Am I doing this to lose weight? Not really, although honestly, I could stand to shed a few. I'm doing it to gain a sense of balance and to return to the shape I was in, before I started smoking again. I love walking. It's like, I can hear my thoughts clearer. Does that make sense? It's as if I can work things out on my own, in the peace and meditative silence that walking alone, provides. I don't walk in isolated or secluded areas, but I do walk in nature. So, if anyone is thinking about walking, PLEASE DO NOT walk in areas that aren't safe. We need you HERE! :o)

I really enjoy the ability to breathe deeply when I walk.

"Hmmm Obi, why do you enjoy breathing deeply??"

B'cause I Quit Smoking almost three months ago. ---- (devilish grin)

Where I walk, I can hear a river trickling and swishing over jagged rocks. I see the beautiful green moss on rocks that go up a hill, foliage that's about to take a nap, furry squirrels, birds that stay in the area during winter. I see the various types of trees. I see folks walking their dogs, and dogs walking their owners..HA!! I want to get a dog one day, although I am truly a cat person...(MEOW)...*giggling*  I think dogs are so cool, especially when it comes to walking companions and all out door play time.

In seven days, Lord Willin' (and the creek don't rise), I will hit my three month Quit. Yipeeee!!! All I can ask is, "Where did three months go?" See, this is what I've been sharing with folks for about a month now. The fact that time is moving faster (or seems to be) is to our benefit, for those of us who are Quitting or Staying Quit. Check it out, it doesn't even feel like we've passed Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, and New Years, but we have. Listen, if you want to Quit, JUST DO IT, and see how fast you come up on a month Quit.

Heck, we're about to have Valentine's Day, which gets on my last nerve to some degree. I don't like Valentine's Day. Not because of what it stands for, but because of the commercial pressure. I particularly feel bad for guys. I mean, I'd rather be with a man, who expressed his love for me, by doing stuff DAILY, instead of waiting for one day, to pour it on thick.

One thing for sure, we, those of us whom have elected to QUIT and STAY QUIT, will NOT have to worry about having fresh, sweet, kissable breath, just in case someone wants to kiss us for Valentine's Day. Ah yes..just imagine, the object of your affection, walks up to you and ***SMUAHHH*** right in the kisser, and..and..and then you find yourselves locked in a wonderful embrace, pheromones start acting berserk, lips are locked, kissing in a fervent rush, hearts are pounding and full of emotion, perspiration starts to.....WHOOPS!!. HA!!....WHEW!!....okay, I'm back.

Being Sexy and Smokeless is Dangerous!! All that extra air now running through our bodies, giving us more energy, to shake it, unleashes a SEXY BEAST when we least expect it! WATCH - OUT!!! Because WE, the Sexy, the Proud, the Brave, the Smokeless, are on the move!!!

Much love, strength, power, healing energy to everyone who is thinking about Quitting, those who are new to the Quit, and those who are on the Quit Path.

***Special Shout Out to James Bronson, GEA PPC,  and Sean Guy for coming along on this ride***  :o)

One Human Love,
Obi.

Peace, Love, & Freedom to My Rocktober Family where-ever in the world you may be.
To Everyone thinking about Quitting and to those early on in their Quit, take it
One day at a time, my lovelies!!

You CAN do it!!
