The French President, is sitting in his office when his telephone rings. “Hello, Mr. President!” a heavily accented voice said. “This is Paddy down at the Harp Pub in County Mayo, Ireland. I am ringing you to inform you that we are officially declaring war on you and your country.”
“Every day might not be good – but there is something good in every day” that’s pretty much how I look at life in general, but not lately!
I smoked for so long that it seemed to be just a part of me. I was one of those happy smokers! I knew it was a bad habit, but didn’t beat myself up over it. Life was different 30 years ago; smokers were happy in commercials, and famous people recommended cigarettes.
Unbelievable… I am an ex-smoker! Tomorrow will mark three months. I didn’t plan it, and I certainly wasn’t prepared for it. It just happened. Out of the blue, after 35 years of smoking, I decided to quit—and I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I am 50 years young, and for the first time in my adult life, I am a non-smoker! So tomorrow, I am going to celebrate a little. Maybe with cake, maybe with a glass of wine, or maybe I will buy myself some flowers.
