.... me!!!!
Twenty years ago I decided to do something
that would change my life.
Something that I was afraid to do.
Something that I knew I had to do.
Something that I should have done sooner.
Twenty years ago
I became
a NON-SMOKER!!!!!
One year after quitting my risk of coronary heart disease
was 1/2 that of a smoker's.
10+ years after quitting my risk of lung cancer death
was 1/2 that of a smoker's
AND
15+ years after quitting my risk of stroke and coronary heart disease
is that of a non smoker!!!!
Yup!
I am patting myself on the back!!!
I am taking deep breaths
and not coughing!!!
I taste things differently.
I smell things differently.
I have more $$$ in my pockets.
Yay me!!!!!!
Now, excuse me while I kiss the sky!!!!

That is fantastic! You deserve a pat on the back x
ReplyDeleteYEAH you Sis! Love this selfie and love the words...kiss the sky! That is quite the accomplishment and should be applauded!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! and Good for you and those around you because 2nd hand smoke is just as deadly.
ReplyDeleteWoo Hoo to YOU!!! I quit 28 years ago...and never looked back. I can't even stand to be around cig smoke, gives me a headache!
ReplyDeleteyeah you is right....I quit way back in 1977 because I got pnemonia and it hurt like hell, so I took advantage of the situation and quit...never regretted that decision. Now, where is all that money I saved??? Congrats!!
