A Gust of Somethin'

Can you bear with me for a brief moment here? I've resisted "blogging" for quite some time, thus I'm feeling a little self-conscious about the current state of affairs. That said, I've resisted many things in my short lifetime that I maybe didn't need to be so dang stubborn about, so here I am. Embracing the unknown, trying on the opposite.
It's a Monday. I've had 3 Magic Hats, a pork chop, half a sweet potato and a "pile" of collard greens (as my mother says; many of her quotes to follow I'm sure). To date, I have not quit smoking, not that this should in any way resemble a Bridget Jones-ish diary. Just trying to set the tone.
Remarkably, I will end with a weather report rather than begin with one: It's cold. I stood outside unnecessarily (feeling reminiscent of NY?) after dinner to smoke a cigarette. The wind creates its own sort of soundtrack tonight and I get it, I just need to know what the hell the preview is for.

Tonight, I am Grateful. And from now on.
