Mason woke right up for me this morning and we were back here by quarter to 7, two wks from today is the first day of school so I will be driving over to his place to get him ready and probably drive him to school each day but once it is too dark in the morning I won't be able to because I haven't driven at night for 2 or 3 yrs now, my eyes water to the point of running down my cheeks and down my throat and that's without another vehicle coming towards me, then I'm totally blind so as much as I would love to continue to help my daughter unless her man brings Mason to me I just won't be able to. But smoking isn't an issue anymore even though every once in awhile I'll have a memory of smoking a cigarette that makes me think hummmmm and then reality sets in and I remember how much I wanted to quit because especially in the mornings trying to suck on a cigarette that I coughed and choked and thought that I was going to hork up a lung or maybe both, no way no how will I let my guard down because I am finally free of the slavery of cigarettes after 40 yrs of smoking and several wks of withdrawal symptoms and cravings plus mood swings so why in the world would I or any of you want to go back to that? Let's be EXtra vigilant especially with the change in the season coming up which could cause smoking memories but just be sure to remember the reasons why you quit in the first place!

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....
