A message to ALL quitters. You don't have to avoid GUS if you have a failed quit. We won't give you a bad time and we consider the failed quits as "practice" for the real quit.
Went to the Balloon Glow last night. It was windy and the balloons had some trouble, but it was really fun. Here is a pix. I have been taking my kids there every year for over 10 years. Its one of my family traditions (whether they want to go or not)
Today will be the races here is a pix from a previous year
Now how about those deep breaths. Sit up straight and stretch your neck and spine. Its going to be a great day.
First pose....Lotus
Cow face pose

One last pose then take a deep breath and youre done
