HURRICANES...

I have been living in South Carolina for over 37 years now.  I am very familiar with the wrath of hurricanes.  I just went outside, and I can see the bands of the storm, even though we are only under a Tropical Storm Warning.  My wind chimes are just singing too.  What I want to say is that smoking cigarettes will not give you the strength to persevere.  Smoking is a temporary break, not a fix, to anything you may encounter in one of these storms.  Just get prepared.  Make sure everything that you value in the yard is secured or brought into the house, make sure you have water in bottles.  You can fill your own bottles up.  Fill your tub with water, because you can flush your toilet with that water.  Instead of smoking, think of what you would do if you did not have water or electricity.  Stock up on canned goods, freeze bottles of water to keep your refrigerator and freezer cold when the electricity cuts off.  These are just a very few things I can think of, before I go off to work for a little while.  Bottom line is, don’t smoke.  It will not solve a darn thing!  Protect your quit, as you would your life, because that’s just what you will be doing, protecting your life. 

 

 

 

Love you guys, hang in there, and I will be back later.  I suspect I will be leaving work early today.
