I love stretching and listening to music on my breaks at work. I also love writing, which is convenient since it's most of my job.
I also love a single beer after work on a hot summer day. It's so soothing.
And I think I would love one of those desktop sandboxes with the little rake. A few coworkers have them and I feel calm just looking at them - so I think I'll get one. One of my upcoming rewards. ;)
Going out side and smelling flowers...looking at them in detail....knowing that me not smoking has given me more time to enjoy then....though touch....smell and sight!
I am SO GLAD TO BE AN EX-SMOKER!!!!! Yeah 16 days at 10pm (PST)....I am SOOO HAPPY! Thanks for this board!
REMEMBER TO SMELL AND TOUCH THE BEAUTY OUTSIDE!!! It is amazing seeing with your other other parts of your body than just eyes! ENJOY!
