Well it's about 1:00pm - My day so far has been filled with sadness along with some good accomplishments.  The sad part is just me feeling so bad for the whole thing that happened in Japan.  I mean sometimes I sit here and feel sorry for myself and think I'm the only person in the world like this, and yet there are whole countries that feel this way.  This sadness is huge!  But besides the Japan incident, I have just read nothing but horrible news about evil horrible people.  I mean, I can understand nature destroying things, but I cannot for the life of me understand people doing evil things.  Personally I think I have got to stop reading the news.
 
Ok for the good stuff, I made a couple of phone calls today, so that is progress.  At least I am making the effort to connect with people.  The other thing I noticed and this just has to do with not smoking, is that I no longer have a callus on the bottom of my thumb.  I used to have one there because of my lighter, and now it's gone.  Just another plus to quitting smoking, no ugly looking hands or calluses.  One more plus is that I have been jogging more and more each day.  I got a little concerned the other day when I became dizzy and short breathed, but maybe that's because I was pushing it.  My goal is to jog the entire route that I take.  So far I'm almost at the half way point.  I've put on some weight since I quit, and now weigh about 145lbs.  I'd like to be back down where I was, but it's going to be a tough road.
Ok, that's enough for now!
