Better today

As most of you know, I have not really been "seen" much lately. 

I come in each day and look to see if there is someone that I might be able to encourage in their journey. I get tired very quickly and have to leave though.

The heat and humidity take a large toll on my health and stamina anymore.

Today the heat has abated and the humidity doesn't seem as high. Therefore, I feel better today.

As Sootie‌ quoted our dear froguelady‌, I also have to say that quitting smoking is the best thing I ever did for myself.

In spite of the health issues I deal with now, I am so glad that I gave up those death sticks.

No matter what follows my friends, quitting is the best thing that can happen in your life.

Take it on minute, one hour, one day, one weel, or one month at a time. It all adds up to leaving those things far behind you.

I am looking forward to future days when I can once again post more than I can now..

I keep all of you in my thoughts and Song to Creator each day.

Be well my friends.

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

Larry

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.
