I do believe it is in the job description of 'grandma' to bore others with many photos and updates...and I happen to excel at this job.( Disclaimer: I was also very good at this as a 'mommy'. We did not have all the digital stuff, and were kinda poor because I chose to stay home with the kids...but I have so many albums full of photos. now I wonder how we managed to pay for the film and developing all the time, I just didn't want to forget a minute. )
Mason and I were walking back from the woods and I caught the scent of a cherry tree in full bloom, it was very delicate, but I smelled it. and I immediately knew that these little things were not mine to enjoy while I smoked...I simply would not have smelled it at all. Also, I do remember times of being in the woods or on the beach and smoking. Now that seems really gross, to spoil such wild beauty (plus to be enslaved to the extent that I could not enjoy a moment without smoking!!)
Very happy to have quit.
For anyone very new in their quit, I send total encouragement...there will come a time when it will not be as hard as it is now. There will come a time when you do not think about smoking very often and you can really enjoy your little moments in life. Hang in there!!

very good you can do these things with him and smell the small things to know what to show and share with a little nonsmoker.

How could you bore anyone with photos of that cutie? Don't you love being able to smell everything. It's way cool.
