EXtremely difficult at times BUT EXTremely Do~able....

Anything in this life worth having takes time and effort and quitting smoking should be at the top of the list of things to do for our health family and friends BUT most importantly our LIVES because breathing is essential to living if we can't breathe nothing else matters! Once we've made the decision to quit smoking THEN it's a MUST that we stick with it PLUS after decades of smoking we have to realize that it's bound to take time to relearn life without the smokes because every blessed thing we did was wrapped around them BUT boy oh boy it's definetly worth it PLUS we're giving ourselves the GIFT OF LIFE which keeps on giving day after day week after week month after month and Lord willing year after year and all we have to do is stick with our precious quits N.M.W!!!

I understand now IS the time to be selling a house.  Stories abound of folks receiving lots and lots above listing price (high demand, low inventory).  Do you have a new home picked out?  Whatever - I'm glad to know you won't be smoking over any of it.

High today here in the mid-Atlantic is forecast to be 55 with rain.  Not an officious beginning to the start of summer, but know one thing:  I won't be smoking over it.

Glad you aren't doing that awful thing anymore, either!

@YoungAtHeart Nancy we have our condo in Florida...moving there and downsizing quite a bit.  Eventually, Neil will permanently retire...he was suppose to Jan 1st, then March 31st, then May 1st...of course it hasn’t happened, but we are moving forward with our plans.  We call him semi retired...always knew we would go back to Florida to live permanently...Oh it is a sellers market...and our house is “location location” we are in a quaint down...house is in borough with nice neighborhood, but we can walk to grocery store, cobblestone streets with shops, restaurants etc., also, the septa train to take you to philly or New York...very desirable, my fear ... we will sell quick...I will keep you and all posted...

I agree with you not a good start to summer...so chilly and windy and rainy out...wishing you a peaceful Saturday....

Went well.

No smoking for me today!

Good Evening Marilyn

 I do hope you had a good Saturday

We made it to a high of 56 today and the rain just now stopped. 

All in All a good day and week.   All 3 boys stopped by today I should say 4 as Baby Buck was also here.  Donated Blood Friday and got a free pack of Oreos and a Cicada T Shirt.  Thursday had my CT Scan on my lungs although you always have that what if thought in the back of you head It came back fine. The nodules are the same size as they were almost 5 years ago.  

Yes it is so worth it
