I'm pretty sure anyone living in a snowbelt like me is ready for Spring but realistically I know that it'll be another 6 wks or so before all of this white crap will pretty much be gone other than in the woods, yesterday was mild it started with snow then freezing rain which switched over to rain during the afternoon and evening with temps up to 41°F but during the night the temps dropped, I had bloodwork this morning which I had to fast for so I was out of here at 6:45 the roads were fine but the driveways are sheets of ice I took coffee with me so I could enjoy a cup coming home. Once you've been quit awhile and hit that good place in your quit you'll realize that you can function much better without the Cancer Sticks, before quitting I would need at least 3 coffee and 5 or 6 smokes before I could function and having to fast for bloodwork and drive the 20 minutes without caffeine was murder but now it's no big deal because living life on life's terms is really great, if you're struggling with remaining quit please know that you can get through the roller coaster ups and downs of withdrawals and moodswings and lack of sleep and you get to that point where you can smile because you'll know that there's definetly Life after Cigarettes and it's super fantastic so chin up and keep stacking up your Days WON! I just snapped this pic of my driveway but it doesn't really show how icey it is but that's ok because the Sun's shining which makes me Happy & I have to say LIFE is Grand without a Cigarette in Hand , I'm ONE of those Happy Quitters and have been for quite some time and I believe everyone can reap the benefits of being an Ex Smoker but you must believe it and stick with N.O.P.E and vigilance in order to EXperience the Freedom of an EXer.....

I'm a proud Gram of 2 grandsons and a granddaughter and I consider myself a jack of all trades and a master of none, plus I enjoy reading and being outside and since quitting smoking breathing is so much easier because I'm not coughing half of my time sucking on a cancer stick....
