I have done this piece before...it is a design by Benjamin Chee Chee that I absolutely love the feeling of. This one is planted in the front garden in the midst of some spring blooming rock plants.
Speaking of friends...one of mine suggested that she was going to quit drinking anything caffeinated, started Tuesday this week. I decided to join her and find out if quitting coffee would stop the menopausal night sweats. It took most of the first day for the headache to develop, yesterday noon I almost made a cup of coffee the headache was big. When I woke without the headache this morning I thought I might be clear of withdrawal symptoms until I felt the ache in my hips and legs. I went online and googled caffeine withdrawal...it's a good thing I didn't do the research first because I wouldn't have gone cold turkey. Having started cold turkey I want to follow through and see how long it takes to clean up...sounds like a drug when I put it like that. One of the symptoms of every withdrawal....fatigue. Right now I am eternally grateful to be able to succumb to a nap attack.

Hello!
I am finding it with intense curiosity; regarding the experiences; that both of us are experiencing with "addictions" and our "breaking free" from them.
First; with nicotine and how I am experiencing "challenges" regarding this addiction; while your experience appears to me to be much "easier" than mine.
Then I see the reversal aspects between us; regarding caffeine.
I am finding this very interesting:)
I am remembering your words on how you compare smoking to shields and thus you appeared in my opinion; to have created a useful purpose, if you will on the decision to quit smoking and with apparent success!
I am wondering if you created a self comparsion for the like, regarding caffeine?
Are you seeing where I am leading?
To use myself as an example; with my choice to alter my diet, to more of the natural state it has been a real smooth transition. This includes my decision to "remove" or vastly reduce my intake of caffeine.
Then; I am thinking on smoking, and even though; I can relate to your metaphoric comparison to "shields" and even though; I do see it as you do I am wondering if because I still am holding something inside of me that still exclaims that smoking, for myself is still a bit of a type of grounding, do to the nature of my reality, which is varied from yours, at this moment.
What I am attempting to convey here, is it possible, that something deep within our being, is why we are experiencing an altered (reversal) with these addictions?
Love,
Tim
