rewards

At the risk of sounding happy, I’d like to say that I had a really good day. I quit smoking on Friday, so this is day 5 without smoking. I’m feeling great. You know at the end of Miracle on 54th Street when dude has a new perspective on life and feels so on top of his game and he is running around so happy? I kind of feel like that. Just cause I feel so free of addictive substances now. No more cigarettes is a great thing. I can actually smell now. The first day I quit I could suddenly smell everything and it was an amazing experience. Now everything is tasting better. I actually have an appetite and food is more satisfying. I sleep much better and need less sleep. I don’t come home from work and feel the need to nap. I am more motivated to do good things for myself, like clean my house, do my dishes, make dinner, do laundry etc. Tasks I hated doing a few days ago.

Getting xmas bonus this friday. Gonna book a vacation somewhere hot for early Feb. thinking Cancun, Dominican Republic or Maui. Never been to any of these places, so it’s hard to say which is the best choice. I feel grateful to have the opportunity to work and make money to go on vacation. Having a productive life has its rewards.
