And a Happy Thursday to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Every morning I look forward to and enjoy your greeting and affirmation, first thing.  I wanted to share with you how nice that is.  But I know you are always up early, even before those folks that make the donuts, I bet ... so I'm leaving this blog here the night before, like cookies for Santa, so that you will find it when you arrive.

I hope you have a wonderful day and that your long days at work ease up soon.  But you are right.  However long they are, they are better because we don't smoke.

Good morning right back atchya, pal ...

I remember a friend coaxing me into smoking when I was about 12 yrs. old. At the time, it seemed daring. Before long I was sneaking cigarettes alone. I remained a closet smoker through high school, college, and for seventeen years of my career. Even before it became politically incorrect, I was ashamed of it. It didn't fit the image I wanted others to have of me. As an introverted, over-achiever, cigarettes became my constant companion, my support group, and my reward system. Finally, after thirty years as a smoker, I quit to please my fiance. We got married and started a family. I couldn't have been happier. Three years later, when signs of weakness presented themselves in my wife's commitment to our marriage, I returned to my old friend and support system with whom to commiserate. That didn't help matters. My divorce was finalized two days ago, and I decided to make that my divorce date with cigarettes as well. I have two young children for whom to grow old and for whom to set an example. And besides, between my wife and my attorney, I really can't afford to smoke anymore anyway.
