Me time

With all three grandkids here this weekend, me time is now at almost midnight. Hahaha

Me time used to AlWAYS consist of a ciggarette in hand. Seems like I would do one chore and light one up before doing another chore. I could not do anything without a smoke. Make a decision, drive any distance, have a glass of wine, relax by the campfire.....you get my drift. Heck about the only place I didn't smoke was in the house or in the horse barns for fear of fire. Never mind my own lungs were getting sicker and sicker with each and every puff.

I thought it was all about METIME when I smoked. What a fool I was. When all long it was.nothing but a lie I allowed the Smokes , to feed into my very thick skull.

Now ME TIME actually is just that. I am in control now. I don't have to run away from dinner guest to go out and smoke....even on frigid days....I would go stand and freeze just to get a nicotine fix. Ha! Some real quality ME TIME that was....NOT!!!

I so enjoy my family even more now...these babes never have to see me smoke or smell the stink on me. I don't have to run off and smoke between every little thing I do. 

Wow those smokes really did a number on me. It's nice to not depend on them anymore. 

ME TIME has taken on a new meaning for me and I am  SO grateful...to God , my wonderful hubby of almost 37 years for his support, my family here at home and all of you here at EX. I am more blessed than I ever thought could be possible. I do NOT smoke....Life is good and is just getting better everyday. Bad days never outshine the good ones.

All bad days are, are reminders that..This too shall pass and a good days on its way.#

blessings to you all!

Smoking is not an option for me. I no longer have a wishbone to quit smoking...I developed a backbone and I quit. When you're sick and tired of being sick and tired, you will quit smoking too.
