Good Morning, Fellow EXers!
Today it's sunny and cool in Colorado and every sunny day is so welcome in helping to dry out the saturated flooded areas. Recovery is slow but steady but unfortunately the economy is taking a big hit - especially from lost tourism dollars!
I, too, am recovering (from a combination respiratory infection gastro-intestinal virus.) I am now back to my normal work schedule and increasing my EXercise program back to almost normal levels - so I am hopeful I missed another threat to my lung capacity. [For those who don't know, every illness can permanently make a dent in one's lung capacity when you have COPD! That's why we have to take EXtreme precautions against colds and flus.]
This is Stoptober for our friends across the pond! Stoptober is a 28 day challenge to become and stay Smoke FREE! Each year we learn more techniques for managing Nicotine Addiction while Big Tobacco creates 4,000 new Addicts every single day in the USA alone! One in 3 of these Addicts will die from smoking related illnesses!
