Thank you for that metaphor - It is a clear cut choice and I needed reminding of that today. Now that I am somewhat over the physical aspects of quitting (I am 23 day out) - I am having a hard time with the balance part. Work, family, day to day tasks are all going at a frenetic pace and my abiity to juggle all the balls feels less easy. I have not tried meditation in the past but am now wondering if this could be an additional tool in the life toolbox.
Thanks again for the post - Panacea
