Oh my...

So I've taken my own advice and 'chilled out' a little and feeling really good about it. I'm taking moments just to checkout of the craziness and just breathe and it's working. I'm trying to be more like I was, happier and full of life instead of cranky.
Such as- I'm doing housework tonight and singing along to my iPhone when my son (17 years old) says 'Mum, use these headphones, they're the bomb'. So I put on these huge headphones ( I usually use my iPhone's little plug in ones) and I'm feeling very 80's hip hop and happening. Anyway, I'm rocking these headphones, the sound is amazing and I can't hear anything but the music, I can barely hear myself singing my heart out. Me and Megan Trainor are belting out 'All about the base' and I've got the booty shaking, the hands are twirling, shoulders shimmying, even my feet have taken on a life of their own! I am owning the song! I turn from the cupboard I was wiping down and to my utter shock there stands my son and 3 of his friends laughing their heads off, one of them bent in half he was laughing so hard!!. Completely in stitches they are while I'm mortified and can feel myself turning red in the face. My son just stood there shaking his head at me.....
So yeah I'm chilling out, much to the amusement of some and the dismay of my son. But hey, I'm not smoking..
Hopefully my embarrassment can make someone else smile today..

Hey Cranky. Great story. It's great to be so chilled after the initial major cravings.
I believe quitting smoking is so beneficial to the family as well. My family are really genuinely pleased I quit.
My youngest son was 40 over the weekend and we had a family restaurant meal. He took me to one side and said how proud he was I quit.
I also noticed how few people went outside for a cigarette. Hey but not me this time.

Good onya Cranky ......enjoy your achievements. ........i certainly do but not good at singing.....lol

I love your attitude towards your quit journey - it inspires me :)
