Today marks ninety-one days of not smoking cigarettes. It’s definitely not easy road to travel, but I know it’s for my ultimate good. I had rolled up over 150 days back in December, but an emotionally-charged event occurred in my life and I succumbed to the urge to pick up again.

Daily Writing Prompt
I have a particular type of weather in mind when I hear this question. Unfortunately, its occurrences are few and far apart.

100 Days of Writing – Day Eighty-Six
I’ve been writing in a journal for the past twenty-plus years. It was a suggestion from a therapist who I was seeing at the time. Little did I realize at the time what an important part of my life it would become. I found a journal the other day that I never had finished. IContinue reading “100 Days of Writing – Day Eighty-Six”
