perspective...

I am really trying to keep things in perspective. Mornings are always a difficult time for me whether I smoke or not. This is only the start of my second day not smoking but like everyone else (?) I keep having these random negative thoughts creep up. I usually give in to the thoughts in my head and don't challenge them. I am now looking around and realizing that life is good,stop smoking now, even though I may be feeling uncomfortable.. The truth is that I am doing something I can feel good about right now. Perspective is something I have spent alot of time thinking about. One of my three children has Autism and many times what he thinks is happening is not at all,quit smoking, just in his mind. I guess what I am rambling on about is the fact that I need to step back and try to see the beauty in this journey and know that things are not always what they seem..or I perceive them to be. I dont know if this will make sense to anyone, maybe I just needed to ramble away and distract myself. I hope everyone some has a great day and remember to be kind to yourself. Elise
