I Rule My Quit !!!

I finally had that Ah Ha moment.....

We have been very busy getting the house ready to host Thanksgiving this year!  I haven't done it in many years, but I am ready!  

I finished painting the hallway down the stairs, and my two guys in the house, (my son and his dad)  finished installing the microwave over the stove!  I am ecstatic with joy to have the extra counter space without a counter top microwave taking up all the room that it did.  I painted one side on Saturday, just before my daughter and 2 grand daughters came to visit, so had to put it away.  

Yesterday, after the guys were done in the kitchen, I finished cleaning everything up, and decided to paint the other side of stairway walls....  as I was walking toward the stairs, I had that real quick little "go outside" thought "and smoke before you start painting" moment, so quick and brief that I barely remember it.....but it happened!  It was so brief, that it was there and gone in a snap!  I quickly said those words, "nope.....I don't do that anymore"  Easy enough said!  

I RULE my quit!  

Have a great week my friends!

About the Author
I'm an active 55 year old woman, who loves hanging with my family. I have 5 children 2 of them married, and 4 grand children. They are all my whole world. UPDATE 8/21/23 Now 61 years and have 2 more grandsons to add to the crew! My hobbies are bike riding, golfing, bowling, kayaking, painting (canvas or rocks) and gardening (getting the hang of it finally) I have smoked since I was 13 yrs old, and quit one time within the last ten years for a total of 9 months. Stress took me back to smoking. My life has been stress free for the last couple of years. Divorced for 2 years now, but back together with my Ex (husband) for a year now. It's time, I'm ready, and I quit! So far it's been pretty easy, so I'm very optimistic about this being my final quit! Thanks in advance for all the support! 2023 - Update: I now have 2 more grandbabies for a total of 6 and still smoke free! They will never get to know me as a smoker!!!!!!
