I am taking an intermission from watching ‘Smart People’ so that I can write the following: If anyone has tried to quit smoking cold turkey- then you can appreciate the wonderful feeling it has to have some control of your life again (or any addiction for that matter) and no, we won’t compare addictions and quitting because this is about ME.

It’s funny how the triumph can spill into other accomplishments. I was able to push myself through an exhausting work out (while watching the movie) and each time I started to feel physically spent, I thought about the recent success- and I did it! Small goals. “Make it through the next five minutes and revisit your goal…” “You made it through those five minutes and you still feel good… wanna go five more… how about ten?”

I really hope this continues. I know how life upsets cause me to forget my dreams/goals/progress, and I do want to stick with this.

Back to the film….
