Welcome to the middle of the week and for that matter, just about the middle of the month! “They” say that everyone has a little bit of Irish in them on St. Paddy's day; so get ready for Saturday 
with some wearin' o the green!!! Now let's get back to today!
Let's all give a round of applause and a hand up to Babs with 100 smoke free days today! I took this quote from Babs' page because I feel certain that so many of us will relate. “It's mind over matter. I made up my mind, that cigarettes don't matter.” I know...right! Congratulations and welcome to the Triple Digit Club Babs!
Next we'll be picking up a lovely lady who recently reminded us, and I'm paraphrasing here, to remain vigilant regardless of how long we've been quit. That is so true. Step on up here Sandi! From 2 – 3 packs a day to none and N.O.P.E for 3 years running...is simply awesome. Way to go!
I hope you all know our next honoree. She is around most days, spreading cheer and encouragement. JoAnne also wanted her Freedom back so she quit 1400 days ago and never looked behind herself. I hate to admit this but I had to use a calculator to figure how much time in years 1400 days is. It turns out to be 3.8 years, or as JoAnne pointed out - 3 years and 10 months!! Wow...almost to the 4 year mark JoAnne! Come have some fun with us today! Congratulations!
Are you ready? I know I am, so let the engines go!
This train is bound for FREEDOM from the Evils of tobacco and smoking!
"IF YOU ARE NOT RIDING WITH US, YOU ARE MISSING THE TRAIN"
ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL ABOARD!!!!!!!!! Maggie 
This is my beloved Oregon with Mt. Hood in the background!
