|
|
Well, this will be a short rant, but I got so mad at myself tonight! I was driving home from the Physical THerapy, and feeling so bad (big and bloated and in pain in my belly for so long now). There, between the cars, stopped at a red light, what should I see but a lighted cig butt, still smoking? I envisioned myself getting out of the car and picking it up. At least holding it under my nose to inhale! Yuk!
Why did I think this? Self Pity had reared its ugly head, and that voice whispered "it would comfort you." "I just need the comfort for a little while!" "What could it hurt? Oh, how I just want to be comforted!" ANd it was a LIE, LIE, LIE!!!! tHE NEVER MISSES A CHANCE TO PERPETRATE HIS BEST LIES, WHICH ARE TAYLOR MADE FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL PERSON! Don't let him! I know he lied! I'm ticked that he even got my attention, however, and if I got my head out of the sand, maybe he wouldn't! ANyway, that's my rant!
Don't let that demon LIE and sneak around you. He is a LIAR!!! THe best comfort we can have or give ourselves is NOt to smoke, and there is the real truth! _________________

eewwwwwww... Cigarette butts are disgusting. Yuck, especially one that was lipped by a stranger, do you know where those lips might have been?
And lying in the street! My dog just took a leak over there. Not to mention some dead insect parts, industrial waste, bird droppings and whatever else the USDA finds in our cereal.
There, that will teach you to have that thought again!
Now, straighten up and fly right. Do I have to come out there and smack you with my "no smoking" sign again? _________________

Hi, Frank,
You did better than just keeping my mind off cig butts---I think I will move out of the city entirely! Country living, here I come! (....uh...mmmm..well, the opera and the ballet....maybe not!... ) _________________
