Independence

There is so much to gain from reclaiming your life from nicotine. For my one year quitaversary, I bought myself an inflatable hot tub! No electrician necessary. I'm enjoying fireworks tonight from my backyard paradise, which used to be the only place I smoked. Now, I'd never dream of ruining it with that stench and it truly gives me peace. Happy Independence Day!

No video showing.  Suggest you just put the link instead.  That way we can still see it, maybe!

Retry on the video above. The fireworks started small but as it got darker, they were really high and incredible! My whole family joined me-- even the 17 year old!!! (Just not the dog. Poor Tucker was on the floor in the bathroom with the exhaust fan on. To say he is not a firework fan is beyond an understatement.)

And inflatable hot tub  - AMAZING.  What will they think of next!  Too Cool!

It was 102 degrees tonight, too! A fraction of the cost of a real one. We'll just have to take it down before winter. It can't handle freezing temps.

You should have asked them to cut down that tree (to better see the fireworks).  I have huge, old trees all around me, but I did catch a glimpse of some being shot off in the neighborhood.  There was some cash going up in the sky from the looks of some of the ones I saw.

That hot tub looks amazing.  Great purchase with your savings!  Every time you get in it you can think about your quit accomplishment, too!

ALL good!

I updated and changed it to an image attachment. If you want to see it in action, find my comment with the video link. It's really awesome. I'm going out to enjoy it again right now!
