The tests we experience during our quit make us stronger...

the longer we go, the more tests, we experience,

it becomes candy.

Candy in the form of self esteem and a better life.

I made cinnamon toast again this morning.

I don't know why, but, preserves, and jam, just aren't "doing it" for me.

When I was young, I put the butter on the toast, covered it with the cinnamon sugar, then, dumped off the excess.

I still do but now, I take an extra step and put it under the broil setting in my toaster oven for 5 minutes.

It turns to a crunchy layer of cinnamon candy by taking that extra time.

Allow the time it takes

Realize the tests make you stronger.

Go the extra mile

My mom use to make us delicious cinnamon toast that way, a long time ago in Parkersburg, W.Va. Good memory. Yes we are growing more and more. I know I needed it.

Now I want cinnamon toast and I am out of bread. Adding to my list. My Mom also used to makes this when we were little and I made it for our boys. I have not had any in years....but me thinks I am going to have before the end of the day, lol.,....and yes, I think we are always being tested with our quits. The good news is the longer we are quit, It does not even occur to me to smoke over it...or anything

    Bree19 It's GREAT for settling the stomach in the morning....no one else I know likes it either. TOAST BUDDIES...probably better than TOASTED buddies.
    XOXO,

  Daniela-3-11-2016 I remember living there when it was 122 and someone said, "Yes, but it's a dry heat, right?" I was so annoyed since I could get in my oven for dry heat too. I made the mistake of going tubing and I have never had a sunburn like that in my life, I think that I peeled for months...it was before anyone used sunscreen.
  
  Stay cool...from the air conditioned car to the air conditioned house to the air conditioned store or office....it's kind of like winter in the northeast when it is so cold...just in reverse.
  
  XOXO,
  Ellen

    Yes elvan, the only other relief we have is from the pool, either early morning or after the sunset. The water is already so warm, there will come a time when even that won't help anymore! But for the time being it is helping hubby with his exercise, me too, if I could only be as consistent as he is
    Much love your way Ellen!
