Meanwhile...

I have not posted in quite a while. It isn't that I haven't had anything to say, it's that I haven't committed the time to say it or the mind to formulate the sentences. I prefer to think this has been a matter of choice on my part, but I'm not really sure.

Much has happened in my life and things are not the same, but they feel that way. Maybe that is part of the reason for the long silence as well. Maybe there are other reasons or maybe no reason at all. I'm not sure at this point.

Regardless, I plan on writing something of substance soon. I don't want to be forgotten, especially by me!

:)

I started this blog as an adjunct to therapy and it worked fine that way. It has grown a bit into more than that and I'd like to continue that growth. It would be good to have more readers as well, but to get those, I need to post a lot more and comment a lot more on other blogs.

That takes work, doesn't it? I'm not big on work, but I'm working on it.

Cheese

Can this little guy cheese or what?

Smokin'!

I don't know if you smoke or not. If you don't, more power to you. If you do, I hope you'll be able to quit someday soon. I can tell you it is not easy, but it can be done. I've been smoke free since 1/1/2000. Prior to that, I had smoked for over 20 years.

Nothing to do with today's post.

What today's post is about is trying to make public gathering areas smoke-free. I'm not into government regulation for much of anything, but in this case, I'll make an exception. That's because many smokers will not voluntarily stop smoking in public places. Don't misunderstand; I have no problem with smokers doing their thing in their own homes. But don't make me gag and make my wife physically ill while standing in line at the movie theatre.

Anyway, if you'd like to help us here in Virginia, please visit this link and do what you feel best. That link is primarily for Virginia. To learn how you can help in your area/state with the smoking issue and many other things from the heart, please visit The American Heart Association.

You'll feel good and you might make this world a little bit better for all of us.
