A man opened his wife’s underwear drawer and picked up a silk paper wrapped package: “This, – he said – isn’t any ordinary package.” He unwrapped the box and stared at both the silk paper and the box.

Oh, thank you daily prompt, that’s an easy one. I loved to smoke cigarettes and would probably still do it, IF…well, if there wouldn’t be an IF. It’s not healthy and it made me cough. Smokers became outcasts over the years and the question “what if…” came to my mind quiet often…so I quit. I had my last cigarette in the evening on February 2nd. Tomorrow is my 10 months quit-celebration. Stunning, just stunning. I wrote this a while back and would like to share it with all of you today…
…or should I say in the “bad old days”, way back then in 1550. Here are some interesting facts:
Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May and were still smelling pretty good by June.
However, they were starting to smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the B.O.
A friend of mine came to visit us for a long weekend and we had a list of things that we we wanted and needed to do. My husband stayed at home with our older dogs and our newest family addition…the “terror puppy”.
With friendly permission by Randy Vaincourt I am allowed to post his Father’s poem here on my blog and I am honored to do so as a reminder on Veteran’s Day. This is one of my favorites and I wish that EVERYBODY…EVERYWHERE would read this poem all the way through. Not just that, but spread the word…because it deserves it, although I concurs with my opinion about politician.
For the common Soldier and my Grandfather, who I never met…
First of all “Thank you” for all the nice Birthday wishes. My blogging friend M-R has a birthday calender for her blogging friends…what a sweet idea! It was so nice to see so many people stopping by and leaving “Happy Birthday Comments” it made me smile and I apologize for not answering sooner.
Dear Politician(s),
Today I got lucky and can write to you and for the first time you will be able to understand what I am trying to say since years. Thanks to the daily prompt, today you guys will be not illiterate, because that’s what you are right? I mean you guys can’t read or write correct? I mean this has to be it, it’s the only logical explanation I can come up with. That, or you communicate in a language that human being just can’t understand.
“Smoking hot” would be the spice of my success story. I quit smoking after 35 years…cold turkey, from on day to the next…without any warning. I just decided it was time and I put them out for good.
But it’s not so much about me anymore, its about spreading the word. My hope is to inspire other smokers to think about quitting as well, or reach one child and have them re-think and question the cigarette in their hands, that would give my blog purpose.
New Blogging Rules…
6 months ago I started blogging. I wasn’t really sure what it meant but decided to do it anyway. I watched the movie “Julie and Julia” and if she could do it, so could I…it couldn’t be that complicated. I had the idea, or the vision, to write about my quitting journey. I wanted to share my experience with others and thought “maybe I can reach just one smoker”. I didn’t really know how, but that was the idea behind it and the reason why I started blogging.
