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.
“The clock of life is wound but once, and no man has the power, to tell just when the hands will stop, at late or early hour. Now is…
I never understood the fuzz about Halloween, it just wasn’t for me and then things changed…
…I got married. The big kid I am married to since over 30 years is a Halloween fanatic and that’s an understatement. He loves it so much, it’s his all time favorite Holiday.
A new Zodiac Sign was today’s >>>Daily prompt question<<< and I had to giggle. Since a while I notice, there is indeed a Zodiac sign missing, for the ones who believe in them in the first place -I don’t.
I am not kidding, I got a present. My day has 1.5 hours more since over 8 months and it was hard at first. What to do with all the extra time?
…but not for long, just for a little while. Maybe a few days, maybe a few weeks or months. I just read a book,”No”… let me rephrase this. I just finished reading an awesome book. A while back I walked through our grocery store and there was a pile of books for $2, just the right thing for a bargain hunter like me. I didn’t expect to find anything interesting there. I mean “really, what can you expect for just $2”, nothing more than maybe a few coffee table books for last minute Christmas presents. Oh, do I like to be wrong!
Everybody who smoked once will remember the awful moments, when we looked around and realized that we were out of cigarettes. That’s a smoker’s nightmare. We start to search in pockets and purses, we open drawers and hope to find somewhere another pack. “This can’t be…we can’t be out”.
Every time this happened I wanted one even more. Just the plain thought about not being able to smoke drove me crazy, almost like a panic attack.
This fall will be the first one in my adult life that I will enjoy smoke-free. That’s hard to believe, considering that I am 50 years young. Seems like I have never spend my favorite season without a cigarette in my hand and now this has changed.
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.
