There's a full moon out tonight...

Somewhere,quit smoking now, there's a song title along those lines... I have to say that I miss not knowing what's happening in the night sky since I quit smoking. Even in the wet, cloudy winters of the Pacific Northwest, night time is when you're most likely to see sky instead of clouds. So when I'd step outside for my after-dark fixes, I could check on the progress of Orion, etc. as winter progressed into spring. When I locked the garage door tonight (something else that doesn't always happen now that I don't smoke), I stuck my head outside and saw a beautiful full moon surrounded by a halo, but it was too cold for me to stay out and appreciate it. When I was smoking, I would have stood there shivering,stop smoking now, pretending that it's what I wanted to do but really suffering - except for that nice view of the sky. I think all this is meant to say it's OK to still stick your head out the door. Maybe that's the same as getting your head out of the sand - it's getting too late for me to tell. I pledge to be smoke-free on Wednesday 3/11/09. Keep the faith - Never Have Another Puff. ~ Cissy
