Work

I spent some time yesterday and this morning laying out and preparing a flower/garden bed for next spring.

A lady across the complex sent her children over yesterday to clear the grass from the area. They broke the ground up while I was going to get some supplies to work the ground with.

Today she helped me put in the edging. I think it will be a nice bed.

Next spring I will be able to go out and "putter around" in the area. At least I will feel like I am accomplishing something. I miss that feeling a lot since I can't work anymore.

To all the folks that are still new in their quit journey, keep up the great work you are all putting into your quits!!!!

You are doing fantastic!!!

Remember, the journey of 10,000 miles begins with one small step.

One step, and then another, will get you to where you want to be.

About the Author
I am a male that underwent coronary artery bypass X3 (triple) on 10/22/13 at the age of 55. I was living on about 20-30% of one coronary artery and my left heart output was only 20% to 25%. I spent a week in the hospital after surgery and went home. Then had to go back a day later for another week because I had pneumonia. Finally a few days because of a slight arythmia. All told it has been about 2 1/2 weeks. I am past the cravings by now and only have the urges to contend with. I really don't suggest that anyone quits smoking using this technique though. I'll have to carry the scars from that day for the rest of my life. The large one down the center of my chest, and the ones from several "silent" infarctions. I came that close to the next world. Never again will I subject my body to that (at one point in my life I was smoking 5 packs of cigarillos a day). I now have to say N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever) every day of my life.
