Good day everyone ●

Today is another wonderful day that we've been blessed with and no matter what's going on in our lives, we opened our eyes and crawled out of bed and even if our body parts are hurting or maybe we had a crappy nights sleep and have a splitting headache at least we're alive so we should be thankful for another day and do what we can to make this a great day . I try to look on the positive side even when all I see is a crap load of negatives but if I keep digging, I always find something positive and with quitting smoking in the first few weeks all I could see was the negatives from the withdrawals, cravings, moods all over the place, blatting spells but with all of your help and many of you kept telling me that it was going to get easier and you were so right. I kept plowing forward because I promised myself that I would never ever smoke another cigarette as long as I live and I don't break promises with anyone including myself, quitting smoking is difficult to say the least but it's also very doable, I felt like ripping my hair out of my head at times in the first few weeks, I threw my cordless phone across the room because my sister had me so stressed out, luckily I didn't break it but my point is I didn't smoke because I knew one drag off a cigarette would send me back to the cancer sticks, so no way no how, let's always remain vigilant and protect our beautiful quits, life happens. Just remember smoking literally takes our breath away and will slowly kill us but quitting smoking can give us a much better quality of life.

I'm a proud Gram of 2 grandsons and a granddaughter and I consider myself a jack of all trades and a master of none, plus I enjoy reading and being outside and since quitting smoking breathing is so much easier because I'm not coughing half of my time sucking on a cancer stick....
