I shared this on the love yourself forom a few months ago but alot of you may not have seen it and I thought I'd put it in my blog this morning. We're all getting older but we can take better care of ourselves by eating right, exercise some, watching our alcohol intake which is something that I don't have to worry about because I quit drinking and it's best not to drink anyway so you can protect your quit and keep it your number one priority, quitting smoking can hopefully give us a much better quality of life, so now I will write this out for you to read, I hope you like it.
Not getting old
You tell me that I'm getting old; I tell you that's not so. The " house " I live in is worn out, and that of course, I know it's been in use a long, long while; it's weathered many a gale, I'm really not surprised you think it is getting somewhat frail. The color's changing on the roof; the windows getting dim,the walls a bit transparent and looking rather thin. The foundation's not so steady as it used to be, my "house " is getting shaky, but my house isn't me, my few short years can't make me old; I feel I'm in my youth. Eternity lies just ahead, a life of joy and truth. I'm going to live forever there; love will go on -- it's grand. You tell me that I'm getting old? You just don't understand. The dweller in my little " house " is young and bright and gay, just starting on a life to last throughout eternal day. You only see the outside, which is all that most folks see, you tell me that I'm getting old? You've mixed my " house " with me.
I love this and quitting smoking and remaining quit should be our top priority so we can smile at the end of each day because we have another day WON and we can reap the benefits as we age hopefully gracefully and healthier, one day at a time or if need be one second at a time but quitting smoking is doable and absolutely worth all of the withdrawals and mood swings to get to that good place in your quit.
