[QUOTE="ScentofCedar, post: 157822, member: 3353"] Taking care of my spirit is as important as taking care of.... That's very pretty, Fran. So is envisioning our main goal as clearing our heads and centering our hearts. Powerful words. *************** I am ashamed to say that I am still smoking. Sometime within the next few days, I hope to report that I climbed back onto that particular wagon, and stayed up there, this time. On the asthma front (I know! WHAT am I doing smoking?!?), I have learned what I CAN eat without experiencing a reaction. That has helped me not to feel so frightened, out of control, or hopeless. As I am having fewer serious reactions and am able to breathe well most of the time, I am beginning to feel so much stronger. We have been back from the visit to my mom's two weeks tomorrow. So that means I have been smoking again for almost a month. Like those of us dealing with weight issues, all I can do is to begin doing the right thing, again. Clearing our heads and centering our hearts...very nice way to think of ourselves in the present moment, Fran. I am smoking now as a comfort measure ~ but in reality, that isn't what I want to do, anymore. Clearing our heads and centering our hearts.... Taking care of our spirits is as important as.... You know, with everything else that has been happening, I feel like I miss myself. Sounds funny, doesn't it. But maybe, that is why smoking comforts me, now? What is it that Eckhardt Tolle said, in the Power of Now? Something about how our self-destructive urges can never stand before our own determined will to be whole? Very interesting post, Fran. And Sharon? Fran is right. It has been so helpful to have this weekly check in to keep ourselves aware of time. Thanks! Barbara [/QUOTE]
