Day 275!

It's been a long time since I've blogged. I still read but have been super busy with the beginning of the academic year (I work at university). 

I am on day 275. I'm loving life.  I mean I still get colds, I still fret about money, I still get in arguments with my husband BUT I don't smoke :).  I am proud, I smell good and I have so much more time.

Not much has changed since I last blogged.  I am training for a 10k now and will run a 1/2 marathon around my 40th bday. 

I have decided to get my Masters degree.  It is time.  It has been time for a while.  The title to my blog says it all for me in a nutshell.

Quitting smoking confirmed something for me. I am strong enough, I am committed enough, and I am worth it! I get one chance at every day.  One chance at that day and it's gone for good, in the history books.  I want to live each of those days. Now, there will be bad ones, I will be grumpy some days, life will happen and I won't always be happy about it BUT my path is a good one.

Quitting smoking made room in my life for so many good things :). It can do the same for you.

Congrats to everyone on another smoke free day! I need to spend more time here. I get so much inspiration from others here. Thank you to the elders and Experts that help me out so much along the way.

I am on guard every day. I will protect my quit.  You can't run and smoke and I have discovered a love of running and feeling awesome.  I will not smoke.  🙂
