Thankfully the sun has come back to Lotus Land. It was sleeping all last week and I began to fear it was gone for the rest of the summer. It can do that here. But, it's back and apparently will pick up steam during the week, to the 80's by Monday...let's hope so.
It will be three months smoke free come August 18th!!
I ran into an old school chum on Saturday. He is a drummer in a band and also does graphic arts posters. He has been quit for 8 months as he's got emphezema. But he seemed so negative about his quit. It sounded like he is trying to find a reason to sidestep the emphezema and smoke again. As we walked, he had to stop every five steps. It was horrible. I told him he has to keep walking, no matter what, just keep walking and no smoking. He said that he found marijuana helpful and I said that more than likely it is not helping his lungs. I said he should just keep walking, breathing, and not put anything in his lungs but fresh air. I said that if he did that, by this time next year, he would be in better shape. I thought I saw a light bulb go off in his head. The realization that it's not over but will get better, if he just keeps walking to build up endurance, and never take another puff - of anything. I said, give your lungs the rest it needs! I said, think of those who are worse off - imagine walking with an oxygen tank I said, or waiting for chemo at the hospital.
I was a bit rough on him but I think it worked. I had to give thanks the whole time I was talking with him for the blessings I have been given. I am healthy and strong. Such gifts.
p.s. The truth of it all is that I found him to be almost repulsive. His breath was rank, he was overweight, he was so negative about everything...that I really felt repulsed and wanted to get away from him and everything he said just got my dander up it was so negative. I'm sorry. Mother Theresa I'm not I guess....
