Just want to let you know that I am very likely to be quiet much of the next few to several days as I make a transition in my life ... quitting smoking (after many years). There are some fundamental habit changes that I need to make as I move through this transition, which will also require a lot of prayer, meditation, and the integration of a "different" schedule/scheme in my life. This will take me away from my computer for the duration. Tomorrow is a new day! I will be back when I come out on the other side.

Kristi,
We understand the need to focus on these changes. They are definitely positive changes that can not only affect your psychological but also your physical life. Good luck in these urgent transitions.

By the way. Does Kallen also smoke?

Jerry,

Yes, Kallen, does also smoke. She (I) started smoking as children. Many are the reasons we can offer as to why, but it was for me, a way of numbing myself to my feelings, as was the drugs I used for a time as a child (adolescent/teenager). I smoked away many feelings, filled holes ... sought peace through smoking.
