Yard cleaning!

Came home from work today, and got busy cleaning up the yard!  The final leaf clean up before the snow flies!  I love this time of the year when it's all fresh crisp air out while cleaning up the yard! 

However, this year was different.....I got my drink on.....I always would get a beer or a cooler of some sort going on the side of the riding lawn mower, and would have that pack of smokes and a lighter sitting in the compartment. 

Head set in my ears to listen to music while driving around with a head set over to drown out the sound of the mower.....

I nailed it so much faster this year!  Why? Because I wasn't taking time out, wasting time, lighting up!  N.O.P.E .  I had no time for that!  Because, I don't do that anymore!  And it felt so good!  I love my new life as a quitter!  While I thought about it briefly this afternoon, it was only to think about how I use to do that, because I do not miss the addiction, or that habit at all!  Not even one little bit!  

Looking forward to shoveling snow, without having that smoke hanging from my mouth!  Bring on the fresh white powder!

Good nite all!  Sleep well and breath easy!

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!!!!!!
