A Very Nice Day....

Well today I turned 60!  I thought that it might bother me a bit, but it doesn't.  I am very proud of every year!  And I am thankful to have good health (at least as far as I know) in spite of my almost 40 years of smoking.  

On Tuesday, I was delivered a beautiful bouquet of roses and lilies.  The card was not signed....I knew that it must be from my sister and/or niece.  My niece called - yes they were sent by them but was not supposed to be delivered until Thursday.  She called the florist and they insisted that they were not delivered.  But how can that be - I am looking right at them .....

And guess what happened today.....the flowers that they did not deliver on Tuesday were delivered today!!!!  I started to tell them but my niece had already told them so now I have two beautiful bouquets!  I am blessed!

I was taken out to lunch!  A computer/accounting problem that I have been dealing with all week was easily fixed!  I received an essential oil diffuser with an assortment of oils!  And some The Pioneer Woman bowls (I love dishes)! On top of all that my boss (he is a character) told me that I look pretty good for a 60 year old (compliments from him are a rare thing).

So a big Thank-you to MarilynH‌ for posting about my BD and thanks to all who wished me well! 

Five years ago I was smoking like crazy - and not enjoying it one bit.  I only smoked to get the nicotine.  I am so happy that I wised up and put them down for good.  If you are on the fence about quitting - take the plunge and do it!  It is absolutely the very best thing that I ever did for myself!

I am a 63 year old single woman. I quit smoking at 55 and my only regret is that I did not quit sooner. Freedom from cigarettes is truly a wonderful feeling!
