Cold Days Ahead

Winter came to Montgomery, Alabama today. I look forward to it. I love a fire in the fireplace, the kids coming home for the holidays and hearing my favorite Christmas songs like, "Oh, Holy Night" and  "Merry Christmas Darling."  I love it when it snows here. That only happens about once every five years or so and the whole town shuts down and we have an unplanned Southern holiday. I love football games under a blanket and high school basketball games in noisy gyms that smell of popcorn and old socks. I love taking my dog for a walk with the wind in my face and I love bundling up and standing around a campfire with friends. I love those cold, wet Saturdays when the only thing to do is watch old movies. I love the winter olympics.  I love a good Christmas party and counting down the new year. I love a good down comforter and my favorite leather jacket. I love a cup of hot chocolate with whipped cream on top and a good bowl of chili. I love groundhog day. I love it when fountains freeze. I love not smoking - oh wait a minute - I can do that all year long!

I'm not a fan of cold weather at all and I live on the coast of NC to prove it. I need to be in Florida but oh well...we are where we are. And you are at 2 wks! Congratulations!

I had to laugh at your perpetual quitter comment. I am too!!!! I used to tell my friends that I had to go ahead and quit my alloted times because I heard u had to quit so many times before u quit for good and I wanted to go ahead and get them all over with. I'm hoping this is my last quit and that it's really permanent this time. I do think all those quits did teach me a thing or too....the main one being that none of the reasons I used to restart smoking were good enough excuses. It wasn't that I couldn't quit, I just wouldn't quit!

Here's to being a perpetual non smoker!
